Question about Coursera...

Hi,
Have you heard of Coursera?
I heard it is a website for learning.
And it offers many university courses all over the world.
I also heard that for some reasons, Coursera bans access in certain countries (ex: syria).
I wonder if Taiwan is one of the banned countries too, because I just tried to access the website and was unable to get through to it (the browser just keeps loading and not showing anything).

Anyway, are you or do you know a person who is a user of Coursera? Would you mind sharing your/their experience with us? Thanks!

Hello. I had a look on the Coursea website. As far as I can tell it should be available in Taiwan - the only countries where it is blocked (by the US) are Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria. So it might be a problem at your end, although I don't see why Taiwan would want to block it. It might be your browser as I have had trouble running it under Firefox (although the website says Firefox is supported), so I use Chrome or Opera when accessing Coursera. There is also a mobile app for Android and iOS which you might want to try. Good luck.

Hi kassy

It is good to know the website is actually functional to people who live in Germany.

What course(s) are you taking and do you find it useful? Do you think the website revolutionizes the way we learn things? How do you compare these online courses with those you've taken in an actual classroom? Mind sharing some pros and cons?

 

Same here, I don't know why it doesn't work in Taiwan (or in any parts of the world for that matter) and I guess that is exactly what i am trying to find out.

If any one of you who is reading this think you might have an explanation, please share it with us. 

 

Thank you a great deal.
