Dive Brief:
- Coursera co-founder Daphne Koller puts its student retention rate at about 84% for those students "committed to completing the courses."
- In an interview, Koller said looking at student intent is critical, because some regard MOOCs as a browsing experience, and some watch all of the videos but have no intention of doing the homework.
- Koller also said one of Coursera's priorities is continuing its international expansion.
Dive Insight:
Koller's points about intent mirror Prof. Owen Youngman's argument last month that MOOC pass rates should only count the students who are at least trying to pass. Audio of the full interview with Koller is available as a podcast.
