Coursera CEO Jeff Maggioncalda says AI is transforming education -- both how it's delivered and what people are studying. On today's Politico Tech, Jeff's case to host Steven Overly for why higher education needs an AI overhaul, and how he uses AI to help decide Coursera's business strategy.  

Coursera is arguably the best known platform for massive open online courses (MOOCs) with over 142 million registered users worldwide and a catalogue of close to 7000 courses. The company went public in 2021 in the wake of the Covid-19 boom in the education technology sector, but has since seen its share price more than halve below its IPO. With generative A.I. at the cusp of transforming business and higher education, how is Coursera positioning itself to capitalise on this trend? We discuss these themes with Jeff Maggioncalda, Global CEO of Coursera.

In the latest episode of Wharton Tech Toks, join Steph Kim as she speaks with Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO of Coursera. They discuss the launch and reception of Coursera's generative AI-powered Coach, his contrarian thoughts on the value of bite-sized content, his very first job, his advice on life itself, and more.

I am joined by Coursera's CEO Jeff Maggioncalda, to discuss how a top-tier leader harnesses generative AI like ChatGPT daily. Maggioncalda, leading a $2.6 billion company, reveals intriguing uses of AI beyond writing assistance—acting as a thought partner in decision-making and strategy. His approach demystifies AI, showcasing its practicality in executive roles and providing valuable takeaways for viewers on leveraging AI in business and personal contexts.

The world of work is evolving and raises the question of whether traditional degrees are still valuable to employers. Companies such as Accenture, IBM, and the US government have relaxed or removed degree requirements, leading to debates on whether this signals the decline of traditional education or is just a short-term reaction to disruptive factors like the pandemic and skills crisis. To discuss this topic, I am joined by Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO, Coursera.

Nothing about the state of education feels “normal” right now. If you're a parent, you're trying to navigate hybrid learning, keeping up with medical advice, dealing with an onslaught of omicron, and trying to make sure your kids keep up through it all. And if you're an adult, you're looking for new ways to keep up in a world where every technology, every system, every tool and every job's basic requirements seem to change all the time.But in the midst of all that upheaval, there's a real possibility of lasting change and improvement in education. “We know, broadly, that learning will become more available, it'll be more online, and there'll be a lot more people learning for a lot more of their lives,” said Coursera CEO Jeff Maggioncalda. Coursera is focused on adult learning rather than the K-12 set, but is still grappling with many of the same questions about the future of learning, and how to take digital education far beyond just a recording of a lecture hall.Maggioncalda and Coursera Chief Content Officer Betty Vandenbosch joined the Source Code podcast to talk about the chaotic state of online education, what's next for corporate training, how softer skills are becoming part of the work curriculum, how learning might work in the metaverse, and much more.For more on the topics in this episode:Jeff Maggioncalda on LinkedInBetty Vandenbosch on LinkedInCourseraThe Science of Well-BeingBig History — From the Big Bang until TodayInspired Leadership SpecializationFor all the links and stories, head to Source Code's homepage.

Today, I speak to Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO of Coursera, about some of the key trends he saw in this year's Future Skills Report.

Keep learning, even at home The COVID-19 pandemic closed offices and schools around the world last year. 1.6 billion students around the world had their schools closed in April 2020 or 90% of all students. My partner is an assistant principal at a K-12 school in Colorado, and I have witnessed first-hand the new challenges that she and all educators and learners have had to navigate. On the Reboot Chronicles podcast, I recently interviewed Jeff Maggioncalda, Board Member at Silicon Valley Bank and CEO of Coursera, which provides anyone anywhere with access to online courses and degrees from world-class universities and companies. Coursera, which was once known as the Craigslist of education, enrolled 30 million new learners in 2020 and grew revenues by 64% year over year. Lifelong, “chunky” learning has moved from a nice to have to a must do! The world is moving and changing faster than ever, so it is critical for everyone to continue to learn new skills to stay relevant and grow personally and in their careers. Higher education reinvents itself Jeff detailed how Coursera was not a business at all when it started, and grew from the “Craigslist of Education” to a multi-platform business. Initially it only offered free courses directly to consumers. Many top universities, expanded their businesses when they began publishing their content and supplying it to global audiences through Coursera. Now as a business, Coursera has three institutional channels—one for businesses, one for campuses and one for governments. “What they're all looking for is really high quality, online courses that they can get and use for their constituents,” said Jeff of their customers. The higher education business model is under pressure and somewhat fragile. Their curriculum is an institution's core offering or the family jewels. However, from Jeff's point-of-view, tools like Coursera are allowing the higher education sector to reinvent itself. Universities are collaborating and licensing content from other academic institutions. This is very similar to textbooks, but just with the digital mechanism that empowers speed and scale. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rebootchronicles/message

Presiding over an online platform with 82 million learners and hundreds of millions of course enrollments gives Jeff Maggioncalda a unique view of what's happening around the world in higher education and training. What he's seeing is growth and opportunity. The Coursera CEO says the number of people accessing its catalog of thousands of courses and certificate programs from top universities and corporations nearly doubled in the pandemic, with women driving up the numbers and consuming STEM content at an increasing rate. Coursera's newly released Global Skills Report, based on data from 100 countries, shows the most sought-after skills are in business, technology and data. But the most important development coming out of this challenging year, he says, is that access to learning and jobs is becoming much less dependent on location. “We've seen that online learning allows anyone, anywhere to have access to high-quality learning. I think remote work, spurred on by the pandemic and digital jobs, will allow almost anyone, anywhere to have a range of job opportunities that they would never have had.” Maggioncalda is also encouraged by the growing power of certificate programs to unlock access to degrees and careers, and the creative institutional collaborations enabled by Coursera's content and commitment to partnerships. You won't want to miss this lively conversation with Futuro Health CEO Van Ton-Quinlivan packed with insights into the increasingly accessible, affordable and stackable world of upskilling and education.

When a couple of Stanford professors founded Coursera in 2012, they promised to democratize access to higher education by making courses from prestigious colleges available online. Nearly a decade later, many of us were thrust into the world of online education by the pandemic. Tens of millions of new users joined Coursera’s platform, some just looking for lectures to occupy their time, others seeking new skills in areas like machine learning and data science. Marketplace’s Amy Scott speaks with Jeff Maggioncalda, the CEO of Coursera. He said states like New York and Tennessee have also paid the company to provide free courses for unemployed residents.

ABOUT THE EPISODE: Following courses from the best universities & companies in the world online, and even being able to get a degree from them, is now possible - thanks to Coursera. This company is fully dedicated to transforming lives through learning. Having a good learning curve is one of the most important traits for success we see amongst entrepreneurs at The Family. The internet made it possible to access tons of information easily and freely online. However, hacking the system by giving access to world-class quality knowledge (you know, the same one rich people get in top universities) was still a big challenge to address to make education ever more inclusive. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Jeff Maggioncalda's background is phenomenal. Before joining Coursera as CEO two years ago, he co-founded Financial Engines, one of the biggest & hottest fintech companies in Silicon Valley at the time, together with the Nobel Prize in Economics winner Bill Sharpe; he then sold it for… $3B. *** Learn more about The Family and apply to join us here: thefamily.co Check out other videos on our Youtube channel: Startupfood Check out our events here: The Family Events We also write amazing articles: Medium
