Best Coursera Courses & Specializations To Take in 2019

What is Coursera? 

Coursera is a for-profit educational technology company founded by computer science professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller from Stanford University that offers massive open online courses (MOOCs). Coursera works with universities to make some of their courses available online, and offers courses in physics, engineering, humanities, medicine,biology, social sciences, mathematics, business, computer science, and other subjects.

• In short, Coursera is a free online learning tool for everyone who has an account registered.
• Account registration is also free of cost.
• All courses offered by Coursera are “accessible for free”.
• Each course includes short video lectures on different topics and assignments to be submitted, usually on a weekly basis.
• Coursera courses approximate from six to ten weeks long, with one to two hours of video lectures a week. These courses provide quizzes, weekly exercises, and sometimes a final project or exam.

While Coursera does not published data on how many students are taking each course, I compiled this list of the most popular courses on Coursera by looking at each course’s search ranking on Google and the related activity on Twitter and Facebook.
