Coursera is an American online learning platform founded in 2012 by Stanford professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller that offers massive open online courses (MOOC), specializations, and degrees. To help minimize the impact of the Corona virus (COVID-19) outbreak on students, Coursera launched a global effort to assist universities and colleges to deliver course-ware online at no cost to any university impacted by COVID-19. Through this scheme, a student can access 3,800 courses and 400 specializations offered by Coursera.

To make available this opportunity to faculty and students of Vidya, the College has been registered with Coursera under the leadership of Dr Sudha Balagopalan, Dean-Academics with assistance from Mr Ravishankar S (AP, CSE Dept).
