On 2 July 2012 the Centre for Distance Education were fortunate to welcome Professor Daphne Koller from Stanford University, a co-founder of Coursera, to the University of London for a talk about "The Online Revolution: Education at Scale" and particularly the pedagogy/platform that sits behind Coursera.
Coursera offers courses from the top universities, "for free to everyone". Current partners include Princeton University, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and University of Pennsylvania. The platform is designed to support millions of students on degree level units usually lasting 5 to 10 weeks.
