Coursera is a large-scale open online course provider in the United States, founded in 2012 by Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller, professors of computer science at Stanford University.[1] Coursera partners with universities and other organizations to offer online courses, certificates, and diplomas in a variety of subjects. By 2021, approximately 150 universities will offer more than 4,000 Coursera courses.[2]

Coursera also offers postgraduate courses in collaboration with universities.[3] For example, the platform has a partnership with HEC Paris for the Executive Master in Innovation and Entrepreneurship.[4] 100% online, this program aims to train top managers specializing in these two fields in 18 months. It opened in March 2017.[5]
