Coursera /kɔrsˈɛrə/ è un'azienda statunitense che opera nel campo delle tecnologie didattiche fondata da docenti d'informatica dell'Università di Stanford. La piattaforma offre corsi universitari gratuiti in formato Massive Open Online Courses (Mooc) e dal 2014 coinvolge un centinaio di università ed enti operanti nel campo dell'istruzione superiore in tutto il mondo. Sebbene il completamento e le lezioni siano gratuiti e forniscano un attestato di frequenza, per ottenere certificati ufficiali è generalmente richiesto un pagamento per l'iscrizione a una piattaforma di verifica individuale e coprire i costi amministrativi.
