Open online course provider, Coursera, is introducing a new service Clips, which currently offers over 10,000 bite-sized videos and lessons from the world’s leading companies and universities, and will scale to more than 200,000 videos by the end of the year.
With Clips, companies can make the most valuable, in-demand skill development content more accessible to their employees, allowing them to begin learning new skills in under 10 minutes.
“Business needs are constantly evolving in today’s workforce and employees are expected to acquire new skills at an increasingly rapid pace to perform in their roles,” said Leah Belsky, Chief Enterprise Officer at Coursera. “By delivering easy access to shorter, actionable content on job-relevant topics, we are enabling employees to quickly develop the role-based skills and human skills needed to do their job successfully.”
Clips on Coursera enable organizations to drive engaged and continuous learning through 5–10-minute videos and short lessons. With Clips, employees will have direct access to videos that address their in-the-moment learning needs, without having to sign up for any courses. Videos and lessons are surfaced within the context of longer courses. This feature provides employees with a clear path to deeper skills development when they are ready to enroll.
Clips will be available to Coursera for Business customers starting in June.
