do the merging, keep the Udemy branding.
The merger must benefit us the instructors too
Re: Big News! Udemy + Coursera Combination Announcement
@DamianMcKinnon I don't think he meant the topics Instructors teach. Its more like the "technology platform" that delivers Courses, which is fully AI-enabled etc etc …
That said, this is neither the time to rejoice or panic, IMO. Just wait and watch. It could go either way.
Re: Big News! Udemy + Coursera Combination Announcement
Another worrying point is that many Coursera courses are currently free. It's true you can't access all the resources, but you can actually view the entire course for free. I'm enrolled in several. You only have to pay if you want a certificate or access to certain labs.
If that model is used in our courses, phew...
How will two such different payment methods be integrated?
I suppose we'll see the answers to these important questions in the coming months...
The truth is that I want to be optimistic about this union and I hope it improves our prospects.

@ZaneVella Do you foresee any culling of instructors or courses?
Re: Big News! Udemy + Coursera Combination Announcement
I am pleased to confirm that the instructor marketplace will remain a key part of the combined business. Udemy instructors' insights, rapid content creation, and demonstrated teaching excellence are recognized and a key part of Coursera’s interest in Udemy.
