Useful for Self-Motivated Learners
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciated the inclusion of courses from well-respected universities and professors, which made me feel like i was getting more value than if it would have been from places I had never heard of, or even just by Coursera staff.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not a huge fan of forums as the main form of communication between classmates. It did not create a sense of group-learning for me; it just felt like another task to check off the list. I would rather either be a completely independent learner or be engaged in meaningful learning with others beyond a requirement to post/respond a certain number of times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coursera definitely solves a problem for self-motivated learners who are looking for an inexpensive option to engage in ongoing education or pick up specific skills. I learned I am not in that category. While using Coursera, I would watch the videos but not follow through on assignments, because I was more interested in the general knowledge for myself - as if I was reading a book. For truly engaged learning, I've found on-campus, classroom experiences to be best for me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think this could be an okay option for employers looking to offer education opportunities for their employees, but I think that it would need some kind of oversight or reinforcement. Perhaps companies could sign people up for certain classes in cohorts, so they can add an element of in-person engagement.
Coursera helped me redesign my goals
What do you like best about the product?
High quality courses, diversity of choices, from business to programming, from mathematics to philosophy. The courses are very well designed and the platform is of excellent quality. I appreciate the availability of university lecturers to serve as instructors of the courses. This gives more respect and recognition for the courses. The courses have the advantage of not being very strict on the timelines. They correctly assume that people who do these courses are busy, sometimes cannot commit to timelines that are normal in an on-campus education.
Coursera offers courses that explain difficult concepts in an intuitive way so that the students understands and applies what they learn. It's why learning leads to practice. This is my first experience of having excellent instructors and excellent content delivery. This has changed my professional goals, from teaching to business.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some courses seem to be easier. There other courses that should be updated. Another problem, i think that instead of translating the courses, Coursera should invite universities of different speaking countries to deliver their courses in other languages other than English.
Since these courses are serious, students who complete successfully should be gratified with a recognition and recommended to post-graduate courses by their instructors. Conditions would apply, but this should be a possibility to be considered.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started using Coursera in 2015. Since then, I'm planning to create a company. What hinders me now are financial resources, but this problem will be overcome soon.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Coursera is an educational website that trains professional through an immersive online experience of teaching for practice. this approach leads people to tackle their problems in a new fashion and test the validity of their learning by practice.
Great natural experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like newsletters recommending upcoming courses that I might be interested in. Also, great UI, communication...
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't have much to say. I would like a bit more transparency with payed and free courses and info about that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing issues. It helped me with social courses and materials
Bringing good school education to you!

- great place to learn if you are serious about learning yourself.
What do you dislike about the product?
- actually nothing! Except just one recommendation: for paid courses, if Coursera could allow an introduction video/demo teaching of the course professors, it'd be a great evaluation method before taking on the study.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Learning new tools and higher studies in my field. I haven't gotten very serious about the courses, but i think if i am able to show a little more dedication, i know coursera is a great place to learn.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great place to learn!
Coursera is the most mature MOOC
What do you like best about the product?
Design of courses is very intuitive. Quality of video, blog, discussion forum is very good. Being most popular globally, it has participating learners from most of the countries of the world. This helps in getting varied perspective on topic. Most of the popular academia are participating and providing free course and accomplishment certificates. This helps in being confident on the topic you learned, you know that you have learned from one of the best institution who is working on that topic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Popular courses should run more frequently. Coursera should take suggestions from learners on future topics to be included. Looking forward for more topics on ART, CRAFT, MUSIC etc...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in Information management area, coursera helps me learn (get high level knowledge) many newer technology in this area. I do not need professional certificate rather I need knowledge. Coursera's free courses are best I could ask for
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have evaluated multiple learning platform, Coursera is the best for me so far. In terms of courses it covered, nothing can come closer to it.
