If you don’t mind my asking, did your school give you access to coursera to earn credit while the campus is shut down? Or is it just something interesting and fun for students who might be inclined to learn something new while they’re stuck at home? Either way, props to your school! And enjoy whatever classes you decide to take!

- mportela 7y agoNYU's Tandon School Engineering is doing the same with edX (since it is part of the organization), but students won't earn credits.
- dhawalhs 7y agoCoursera for Campus for the time being is free. You need to ask your school to apply: https://www.coursera.org/campus/ https://www.coursera.org/campus/ EdX also has something similar.
- Eugeleo 7y agoThanks for the recommendation, sounds great! As mentioned above, I think the credit is due to Coursera more than my university; either way, at least they've let me know that something like this is possible. It's just for fun; most of our courses are now taught over Zoom or similar services, assignments are handled digitally and if it wasn't for the low-quality webcams, you'd almost forget something is out of the ordinary.
