Stanford-bred online education startup Coursera has announced an additional $20 million in funding, bringing its total Series B haul to $63 million. News of the additional $20 million was delayed because of added due diligence requirements for investments from three unnamed universities that use Coursera technology. The university funding is not a first for the startup, since the University of Pennsylvania and California Institute of technology previously invested in the company, a Coursera spokesperson said. GSV Ventures and Learn Capital also contributed to the newly-announced funding.
