Education Update: Coursera Releases iPad App with 600+ Free Courses - Sam, Pad Gadget

Proving that they are still the leader in offering massive open online courses (MOOCs), Coursera has released a beautiful native iPad app that provides access for learners on the move. The internet continues to change education and freely available MOOCs are just one example of a thriving open community. Coursera is not alone but is the best funded and most the popular company in this field. They reportedly have raised over $80 million from a variety of business and education partners. It’s never enough to have money, but certainly it helps support a visionary team and fund an iOS app which is elegant and very functional. http://www.padgadget.com/2014/03/11/education-update-coursera-releases-ipad-app-with-600-free-courses/
