Imagine: if everyone that watched the World Cup took a course on Coursera….
During the World Cup, we prompted Courserians to imagine a world where everyone who watched the games also took a course on Coursera. Instead of dreaming, we want to make this a reality: behold the Coursera Cup!
The Coursera Cup encourages our global community to represent their country or region via learning. Courseraians influenced their country/region’s ranking by inviting friends and watching lecture videos during the 2014 World Cup.
Congrats to the Standouts!
A Few Highlights:
Worldwide, over 28 MILLION videos were watched!
Worldwide, over 400K more learners signed up!
Algeria broke the 10K learner mark to enter the Leaderboard in the last week
Spain made sure to shine in the Cup by breaking through the top ten
The USA was the biggest show off with the Top Ten Dance (6th, 5th, 4th, 7th)
Taiwan started strong at 2nd place, but dropped to 15th in the final week
To top it off, Singapore held the #1 spot every week!
Great job, Courseraians, for keeping up with your coursework and being an advocate of Coursera during the exciting games. Viva fútbol! Viva Coursera!
