Coursera（/kɔːrsˈɛrə/, NYSE：COUR）是由斯坦福大学的计算机科学教授吴恩达和达芙妮·科勒联合创建的一个的教育科技公司。 Coursera与多家大学合作，给大众带来一些在线免费课堂。在Knowledge@Wharton座谈会上，Daphne Koller在采访中说道，截至到2012年11月，Coursera上有来自196国家的超过190万人。他们至少注册过一门课堂，尽管有数百万人注册过课堂，但完成率仅是7-9%。 Coursera成立于加州山景城，它的启动稍晚于由斯坦福大学教授Sebastian Thrun投资的盈利性在线教育网站Udacity、但稍早于一个由麻省理工学院、哈佛大学和加州大學柏克萊分校所初创的非盈利性在线教育网站edX。
