Knowledge, Learning, Community

Some of the numbers from this report are notable. For example: "10.3 million enrollments in 30 days, 644% up compared to last year." Also: "1.6 million enrollments in 2020 in Yale's The Science of Well-Being." That's a lot. The summary also included information about data and machine learning in the learning experience, though as Shah says, "as a Coursera learner since 2012, I haven't seen much benefit from these 'data innovations'." There's also new information (illustrated) on new certificates and stackable credentials. Like many others, I have my criticisms of Coursera. But I would never dismiss them as inconsequential or insignificant.
