The CEO of Coursera, Jeff Maggioncalda, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos about the challenges of a post-pandemic world and how ChatGPT is “extraordinary” but “dangerous”. He also mentioned Indian students as the online open course provider expands in India, in an interview with Moneycontrol.
Speaking about the challenges of balancing an on-campus life and online courses, Maggioncalda said that the pre-pandemic world was place based. “So if you had to learn you had to go to campus, if you wanted to work you had to go to an office. Then the campuses shut down, the offices shut down. What we are seeing now is a hybrid world,” he said.
In terms of Coursera’s plans for India, he stated that the company is collaborating with universities across the country to integrate career electives and industry certificates into on-campus learning programmes.
“The online courses can be from universities and they can also be from industries. So we call these “career electives” with traditional degree programmes,” he added.
