After 23 years at Amazon, Greg Hart said he applied lessons from Jeff Bezos and Andy Jassy to accelerate Coursera’s transformation as CEO, driving a rapid expansion of workforce-aligned offerings. Hart flagged a surge in demand for generative-AI skills: Coursera now hosts more than 12,000 courses, including roughly 1,100 GenAI courses—a 44% year-over-year increase in AI offerings. Universities and continuing-education units should factor the platform’s growth into partnerships, credentialing and corporate learning strategies. MOOCs and online learning platforms can rapidly scale topical content and serve employer upskilling needs; institutions must decide whether to partner, compete or integrate such offerings into degree pathways.
