Coursera is testing a new program that lets learners develop short courses for delivery on the MOOC platform. The pilot program is currently taking contact information from people interested in creating community guided projects.
This is a follow-on to a guided project program that launched last year, allowing subject-matter experts to create courses, an expansion of Coursera s original mission of delivering courses created by the universities and other organizations that serve as its partners.
A guided project is described as a hands-on experience where the author teaches the learner how to accomplish something within a particular program. One example offered is a beginner lesson that introduces the learner to spreadsheets, using Google Sheets.
