As course providers like edX, Coursera and others look to offer more rigorous, certificate programmes, university-compatible credits, and specializations tailored for industry, Indians are beginning to see not just knowledge, but better career prospects in MOOCs. In Coursera’s first-ever learner outcome survey in September, it emerged that 53% of the 2,076 Indian online learners polled were looking for career-building benefits, while 35% sought to further their education. Coursera has about 1.2 million Indian registrants. “Our learners may not have the option to structure their lives around their education, but rather need the flexibility to mould their education around the constraints of their life,” says Daphne Koller, Stanford professor and one of the co-founders, along with Andrew Ng, of Coursera.
