Accelerating Product and Platform Innovations Across Coursera and Udemy
July 13, 2026
New AI-powered experiences, accessibility enhancements, and enterprise tools to better serve our global community of learners and customers
Since our recent closing of the Coursera and Udemy combination, we’ve been focused on one priority: delivering more value for learners, partners, and customers. By bringing together our teams and expertise, we’re able to move faster and introduce new experiences that help learners build in-demand skills and organizations achieve better outcomes.
I’m excited to share several new capabilities across Coursera and Udemy, from AI-powered learning experiences and accessibility enhancements to enterprise tools that help organizations build and measure workforce skills more effectively.
Helping Learners Build and Demonstrate Skills with AI
AI is creating new opportunities for learners to practice and validate skills in real world environments, helping learners move beyond content consumption to hands-on skill development.
Graded Labs and Role Play (Coursera): We launched a pilot that turns hands-on labs and Role Play activities into graded assessments with AI-powered evaluation, giving learners trusted evidence of their applied skills while helping employers and educators better verify job readiness.
Expanded Cloud Labs (Udemy): We expanded in-course labs with new AWS, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and Azure OpenAI workspaces, making it easier for instructors to create hands-on learning experiences with the cloud technologies learners use on the job.
Next Best Recommendations (Coursera): A new personalized recommendation experience helps learners discover relevant content after completing a course or Specialization, making it easier to continue building skills and earn valuable credentials.
