Coursera works with universities and other organizations to make some of their courses available online, offering courses in subjects, such as: physics, engineering, humanities, medicine, biology, social sciences, mathematics, business,computer science, digital marketing, data science, and other subjects.
ll courses offered by Coursera are "accessible for free"and some give the option to pay a fee to join the "Signature Track." Students on the Signature Track receive verified certificates, appropriate for employment purposes. These students authenticate their course submissions by sending webcam photos and having their typing pattern analyzed.
There are many specializations which are fee based, but even these courses can be audited for free, with the restriction that one cannot give the quizzes for that course. Courses such as "How To Create A Website In A Weekend" restrict the peer review or collaboration function of the curriculum to students who have paid a required fee.
The website provides courses in a variety of areas, including Humanities, Medicine, Biology, Social Sciences, Mathematics, Business, Computer Science, Digital Marketing and Data Science. Each course includes short video lectures on different topics and assignments to be submitted, usually on a weekly basis.[17]
Coursera courses are approximately four to ten weeks long, with one to two hours of video lectures a week. These courses provide quizzes, weekly exercises, peer-graded assignments, and sometimes a final project or examCourses are also provided on-demand in which the user can take his/her time in completing the course with all of the material available at once, and as of May 2015, 104 courses are on-demand.
Coursera also offers specializations, which is a set of courses, that help increase understanding of a certain topic. As of May 2015, 28 specializations are listed on the website.
Coursera and University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign have partnered to offer a business degree that will be available to anyone. Students have options to register and complete business courses offered by University of Illinois on Coursera. This option is available in a free version (which let the student watch the video lectures and do the assignments, without being graded) and a paid version (which include the certification at the end of the course). In addition, students may register for University of Illinois iMBA program to achieve fully accredited Masters in Business Administration.

Details and requirements are available on Coursera and University of Illinois iMBA websites.
Web forums are provided for courses, and some students also arrange face to face study meet-ups using meetup.com, or online meetups. However, the Coursera Honor Code prohibits copying answers, therefore the discussion should not exchange answers but should practice a healthy debate.
