Coursera is a massive open online course (MOOC) website created by two Stanford professors in 2011. In 2012, Columbia announced a partnership with Coursera that would result in two courses from SEAS being offered as pilots for an online program: Financial Engineering & Risk Management and Natural Language Processing.
This isn't Columbia's first attempt at online education. Coursera is eerily similar to the Fathom Knowledge Network, but perhaps was founded in time more well-suited to such online endeavors. Only time will tell.
