Online learning giant Coursera will give colleges free access to 3,800 courses, as the coronavirus pandemic forces a switch to remote learning

E-learning platform Coursera is granting universities free access to its 3,800 courses until July 31, as the coronavirus pandemic forces a global shift to remote learning, the company announced Thursday

Coursera has already proved useful for Duke University, which used Coursera for Campus to teach students at its Duke Kunshan campus, based in Wuhan, China.Universities forced to send their students home amid the coronavirus pandemic now have a free resource to help them transition from the lecture hall to laptop.

Coursera's announcement comes as US universities begin to send their students home to minimize concerns over the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus. Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia are but a few of theUniversities are "essentially being forced to experiment with — and very rapidly adopt — some kind of online education," Coursera CEO Jeff Maggioncalda told Business Insider. "So it's a really difficult adjustment.

Close to 200 companies and universities have already partnered with Coursera to help design its curricula for certain courses, allowing it to package and customize courses for its students. But colleges and universities now forced to immediately adapt to the world of remote learning may also find Coursera's resources useful, especially in the short-term, Maggioncalda said.
