Coursera recently announced that it was expanding a program that awards special certificates to students who pass multiple MOOCs. The program, called Specializations, requires learners to take Coursera’s fee-based Signature Track courses, and can cost $100 to $300, depending on the number of courses in the specialization. The company is adding 18 new specializations in “mostly practical, in-demand fields like project management, cloud computing, and data mining.”
