Massive open
online course provider Coursera has followed up its December release of an iPhone app with one for the iPad.
The new app is loaded with more than 600 courses, allowing users to download content
for offline viewing. It also provides videos and reviews of written study
material, along with educational quizzes.
Coursera, which
has started work on an Android app it plans to launch later this spring, has
been slow to develop mobile apps, but the new release appears to be worth the
wait. VentureBeat reported the Coursera iPhone app earned a 4.5-star rating on the App Store.
