The online educational phenomenon, Coursera, has announced that it has almost doubled its participating universities by adding 29 of them to its fold, including some of the world's major universities. Coursera is the world's largest MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses). It offers courses for free and attracts as many as 40,000 students per course.
MOOCs are seen by many as a possible answer to the growing pressures on the educational system to deliver mass education at a reasonable cost. For a summary of the latest initiatives of Coursera, check out this article.
