As part of Jordan University of Science and Technology’s efforts to enhance its academic engagement at the international level, the University has established a strategic partnership with the global platform Coursera since 2020. This partnership aims to offer academic courses developed at the University through a global educational platform that ensures access to a wide segment of learners around the world.
Coursera is considered one of the world’s leading online learning platforms, hosting millions of learners and offering thousands of courses and specialized programs in collaboration with leading universities and academic institutions. It is distinguished by providing flexible learning opportunities, accredited certificates, and the latest digital learning technologies, thereby enhancing content quality and expanding its global reach.
In this regard, a specialized team from the Center for E-Learning and Open Educational Resources, in collaboration with faculty members at the University, works on developing and designing high-quality online courses in accordance with advanced academic standards, which are then published on the Coursera platform.
To date, four courses from various disciplines in the medical and information technology fields have been published, attracting over 10,000 learners from around the world. Currently, additional courses from different academic disciplines are under development and will be launched soon.
