Have you ever been dreaming to study in world top universities and taught by the world-class professor? Yes, I do.Many of us dreamed to have the opportunity to study in world top-class universities, such as: Harvard, MIT, Oxford, Wharton, and many more. But, not all of us is that lucky to have that kind of opportunity. Well.. some may said "Life is Unfair, sometimes." Yeah, some of our friends in Africa, for example, find it hard to access the education. While the others, the more lucky one, find the other obstacles: not having enough information, not having enough money, and so on. As the result, we can see that only hundreds who are lucky having education from those universities and those lecturers. Coursera was born trying to find solution of that problems.
Coursera, which was established on 2012 believes in connecting people to great education so that everyone around the world can learn without limits. Coursera was founded by computer science professor from Stanford: Andrew Ang and Daphne Koller, that's why Stanford's picture appears here. Coursera offers the free courses taught by the great lecturers from world top universities, such as: Wharton school of University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, Columbia University, Yale, and many more! All the courses are FREE.
I have signed up and enrolled to some courses that will be started on September. I also visited some finished courses and looked at the videos which are Great! It's just like the courses you take in your current university. There will be classes, homeworks, exercises, and you can discuss with the other students taking the same courses. I think Coursera is great initiative and you should give it a try.
