Maggioncalda doesn’t foresee the demise of the old-fashioned classroom, but he is staking Coursera’s future on his belief that technology will continue to change the way people learn. High-quality affordable online classes will prove the most effective way for working people to gain new skills like data analytics and programming languages like Python, he believes. “I think almost every degree will move online,” he says. “It is so efficient, so compelling; it will be highly personalized and powered by data. We’re going to have virtual and simulated learning experiences that will transport students into totally different learning environments that will give them access to things they can only get in the virtual world.”
