Coursera debuted a service last year giving colleges access to its course catalog, which they can use to supplement their online offerings. The company made the service free from March through September to help universities find their online footing during the health crisis. This fall it introduced a tiered pricing model, including two free plans that give students access to one course annually. Participation in the service has grown from about 30 campuses in February to 3,700 worldwide. In all, about 2.6 million students have enrolled in 24 million courses. Completion rates for campus programs is above 50%, according to the company.
