Coursera

Duke’s continuing partnership with Coursera extended the knowledge and expertise of Duke’s remarkable faculty to learners across the globe, most of whom would never have access to Duke.

In 2015-16, Coursera moved to a new platform designed to better support courses that are “always available.” Previously, Coursera courses launched and ended at pre-selected times. Making courses always available provides rolling opportunities for learners to sign up for a Coursera course or specialization. CIT migrated 17 courses to the new format and platform, and will rebuild an additional 10 courses before December 2016.

  • Total enrolled/registered: 3.8 million
    • Total enrollment in session-based courses (2012-2016): 3.1 million
    • Total registration in on-demand courses (2015-2016): 741,966
  • Total active learners: 2 million
  • Total completions: 108,809
  • Total paid enrollments: 59,498 
  • 27 session-based courses, 74 sessions over 4 years
  • 16 on-demand courses (original on the platform)
  • 12 session-based courses transitioned to on-demand, 2 split in to multiple courses
