(I used to work at Coursera) It's actually up to the professors to decide - some of them leave them up, some close the classes. Sometimes they'll close because they want to improve the videos for next time or prevent super simple cheating in the next session, for example. We came up with proposals for how we could leave all classes open while also alleviating professor concerns, but I don't know how far those are along. There's a lot on their plate, as you can imagine!
- clicks 13y agoIs there any way to determine which ones are going to be left up and which ones are going to be put down (and for that matter, whether or not a certain course will be re-run on Coursera the next time around)? I'm curious to know if the ongoing 'Startup Engineering' course ( https://www.coursera.org/course/startup https://www.coursera.org/course/startup ) will be put down or not.
- balajis 13y agoInstructor here. We'll be doing a v2 of the course after a few months and will repost the materials at that time (we've learned a ton from the first MOOC run).
- ConAntonakos 13y agoStartup Engineering is probably one of the most applicable classes I've taken. Thank you!
- clicks 13y agoAwesome, thank you very much. I'm very happy with how the course has been going so far, and will have my siblings and friends take it when it runs again the next time around.
- Techbrunch 13y agoI did not found the time to follow this session, but I will follow the next one for sure :)
- learningram 13y agoHow long will the materials stay up ?
- dudurocha 13y agoProfessor Balaji. Your course is one of the best I've ever took. Thank you so much!
- ambler0 13y agoAs a former employee, do you have any insight into how Coursera views tools like this? As I wrote in a different comment, this appears to violate their TOS.
