But most importantly, the fact that they F.ed up and didn't come up with any solution to keep their certificate valid shows that #Coursera is utterly unreliable. It companies are purchasing courses from Coursera, they should know that they are walking on a thin sheet of ice with no planB.

Don't waste your money on Coursera or similar platforms if they cannot guarantee the authenticity and validity of their certificate for at least a decade!

For long I though #Coursera is a good platform, but few days back I realized that the link to my certificate (which Coursera auto-injected in my LinkedIn) does not work. After some back and forth with their help center, it got clear that in 2016 they had a big F.up, or as as they put it "by mid-2016, the Coursera Platform migrated to a new one and some of the courses taken before that date are no longer available in the catalog, for that reason, your link may not be useful."

This morning, we had the pleasure of listening to Jimmy Lee, in his invited talk about "A Tale of Two Cities: Teaching CP with Story-Telling". He explained to us the success story behind the creation of his MOOC on Coursera!

Bei all diesen Online-Kurs-Angeboten nervt mich am Meisten, dass ich immer erst alles eingeben muss, mich anmelden muss um dann den Preis zu sehen.

And btw... Ein Jahresabo für 140€ wegen einem Kurs? F-U DataCamp

During my travels, I always follow a lot of courses on #Coursera and #Domestika

Currently, I am enjoying a course called "The Visual Poetry Diary", taught by Lina Botero. And trying to do the exercises on "automatic writing" in the languages that currently surround me... 😅

Please correct my mistakes @languagelovers

I just finished "Quantitative Methods", an online course authorized by University of Amsterdam and offered through #Coursera:

👨‍🎓 https://coursera.org/share/065af1b1e8e68fd0c49f9ce657b21d37

But recently, I know that the way to a bella donna's heart is through quality methods https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lisr.2023.101255, so I immediately signed up for the next course https://www.coursera.org/learn/qualitative-methods/ 😉

I really didn't want to work this evening, but it feels like I'm always running out of time.

Anyway... The #MiniZinc #Coursera courses are all up-to-date again, hopefully resolving many of the problems that the students were running into.

Once again thinking about what to do with my life and looking at #Coursera. I don't know if I should go back to try and complete the #Google #IT cert (I finished the 1st of 5 courses but got stuck in #networking) or try something new like #DataScience or #RenewableEnergy.

I'm very slowly getting through the #Audiobook version of "The Half Has Never Been Told" (Baptist).

Friday was a bit rough on my mood and brain, though, so I've mostly been bingeing the HorrorBabble #podcast. There've been 2 or 3 Lovecraft stories. They don't do much for me; I mainly try to get through them to understand all the references made to his work.

I've been taking a #YadVashem course on #antisemitism on #Coursera and may be able to finish that today.

This is exactly what has been slowly rising in my awareness -- both for AI and for Linux in general. I'm at a very low level of Linux server administrator skill, yet even the experts can't make this stuff work right half the time. Every single solution to a programming problem has 10 answers -- all of which worked for someone -- of which only 2 to 4 will work on YOUR given server, if at all.

How does the business world even function on these platforms??

Great to be with my colleagues from many different #highereducation institutions this week #Coursera

This week getting to be at the live broadcast for #Coursera Conference 23 https://web.cvent.com/event/2c134aff-f3ae-4625-8661-c534319f7835/websitePage:df98f39b-2678-4fba-a875-d3a300d19e84

A decade after Duke joined #Coursera to explore free online learning, Len White's "Medical #Neuroscience" has fans around the world. https://today.duke.edu/2023/03/decade-global-reach-len-whites-backyard

The most ill-conceived concept of #Coursera is having peer-review assignments. Can't submit my assignment without forking over more money, therefore can't get my assignments reviewed = no certificate. I could care less about certification really, but they really need to fix this!

Just a quick reminder!

In California, the Los Angeles Public Library allows you to get a library card even outside of LA, as long as you live in California.

With your, #LAPL account you have access to a lot of program including free #LinkedinLearning and #Coursera.

Other Public libraries probably offer the same.

Starting a new #Coursera course tomorrow: #Excel Power Tools for Data Analysis.

I'm taking a Machine Learning course as part of a continuing education program at work, and it's a bit frustrating that even the instructor says "this should work" or "we don't know why [it works]".

This instructor was the co-founder of Google Brain and was the director of the Stanford AI lab... They are an expert and yet just as clueless at times as the rest of us. 🤨
