How is All This Possible?

Dr. Scott Plous' online social psychology course is one of over 300 free courses created by 62 Universities from 16 countries thanks to Coursera, a social entrepreneurship initiative where courses from top colleges are made available online for free, for anyone who wants to take them. 

How's this for a mission statement!

We envision a future where the top universities are educating not only thousands of students, but millions. Our technology enables the best professors to teach tens or hundreds of thousands of students. Through this, we hope to give everyone access to the world-class education that has so far been available only to a select few. We want to empower people with education that will improve their lives, the lives of their families, and the communities they live in.

And how about this from Coursera Co-Founder Daphne Koller!

"I'm a 3rd generation PhD, so it was expected that I would go to a good college. (My parents would likely have disowned me otherwise.) I was privileged to have the opportunity, and am passionate about making that available to others. I've been involved in teaching efforts at Stanford throughout my time as a faculty member, but now am committed to making great education available not just to those students lucky enough to attend Stanford, but to everyone around the world. Education should be a right, not a privilege, and I believe Coursera is a way to make that happen."
