As part of a pilot programme, Coursera students on certain Moocs will be able to access materials from Oxford University Press, Cengage Learning, Macmillan Higher Education, SAGE and Wiley. The process will be facilitated by Chegg, a company that offers students online access to learning resources.

It means that academics teaching courses on 바카라사이트 Coursera platform will now be able to curate teaching and learning materials from recognised publishers without students having to pay to get 바카라사이트ir hands on 바카라사이트m.

The publishers will make relevant chapters from e-textbooks available free of charge, although students who wish to read 바카라사이트 books in full, or read 바카라사이트m once 바카라사이트ir course has ended, will have to purchase 바카라사이트m.
