We just opened applications for the most affordable, fully online masters' degrees on Coursera.
Two are the first-ever social science degrees —the third is the first MBA in Business Analytics. All three online degrees from O.P. Jindal Global University, India's #1 ranked private university.
It has been a fascinating journey for almost a year working on this.
I've learned a ton interacting with team Coursera, going deep into online education pedagogy, online learning value propositions, online course development, and EdTech marketing best practices.
Innovation has happened slowly in higher education. The internet will undoubtedly change the nature of higher education in the decades to come. While the unbundling of education is underway, building credentials from respected educational brands remains a complex and slow process.
