Coursera Raises $49.5M Series C Funding Led by NEA

Really great to see this. I was a heavy Coursera user in high school (took 6-7 courses at a time) and loved it. It taught me a lot about what I was interested in, what I hated, and pushed me to really learn things before I got to college. Many people I know couldn't stick it out, but I finished all the courses I started at the time and met some amazing people.

The interface and experience has come a long way since I first used them. I hope they encourage more community building and interaction. That was one big area that I felt was missing from the education that I've gotten through college and high school.
