The result of this partnership is Coursera Zone, a Chinese-language Web portal which will be hosted on NetEase’s open education website open.163.com. Eli Bildner from Coursera’s growth team says in a blog post: The aim in creating Coursera Zone is to help Chinese-speaking students more easily find and engage with content from Coursera’s partner universities and institutions. Specifically, Coursera Zone will feature translated course synopses, a Chinese-language orientation to the Coursera platform, Chinese-language discussion forums, and student testimonials. For the translation part, Coursera says it has teamed up with Chinese social networking site Guokr and volunteer translator community Yeeyan.
