Levin grows Coursera’s presence in China - EMMA PLATOFF AND RACHEL SIEGEL, Yale Daily News

During his two decades as University President, Richard Levin focused much of his attention on China. Now, only eight months after taking over as the CEO of the online education platform Coursera, Levin is looking to expand the company’s user base in the country, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. The effort continues Levin’s work at Yale, where he built a stronger relationship between the University and China, which he calls the world’s fastest growing educational market. Despite Levin’s vision for China as an academic frontier, Chinese education experts differ in their predictions for the success of Coursera’s planned expansion. “China is our fastest growing market, and our team is building initiatives and travels there all the time,” Levin told the China Daily in October. http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2014/11/06/levin-grows-courseras-presence-in-china/
