I published a guide on which courses are part of the old platform and how to batch download them before the June 30th Deadline. You can find it here: https://www.class-central.com/report/coursera-old-platform-s...
Coursera shuts access to old platform courses

Re: Coursera shuts access to old platform courses
#262I thank Coursera for everything they've done to me. It's totally life changing. Without it I wouldn't be at where I am, wouldn't have chance to learn these great courses from top universities and as a result, got a dream job.
I don't mind paying a small fee (still much cheaper than going to any other school) seriously. I understand that's not the topic people are arguing about here, but anyway.

#263Hi everyone - I work at Coursera and wanted to share a blog post that should help clear up some misunderstandings about where courses from our old platform will go after June 30th:

The most important thing to know is that hundreds of courses will NOT disappear from Coursera. The vast majority of courses have already or will be updated and transitioned to our new platform in the coming months. Please read the blog post for more detailed information.
I'd also like to address questions around the payment model on our new platform. Coursera is 100% committed to our mission of providing universal access to education, and the move to our new platform does not in any way affect our mission. Anyone who demonstrates that they are unable to afford the cost of a course or Specialization can apply for financial aid. You can learn more about our financial aid program here:

#264It is truly sad to see Coursera getting greedier by the day. I can honestly say this website changed my life, I was living in a third world country and still in high school when I enrolled in Andrew Ng's machine learning class and thanks to that MOOC I was able to get a machine learning job building recommender systems for a Canadian company straight out of high school. There are plenty of amazing MOOCs that Coursera…
Did coursera come up with an official statement yet?
You can now find a response from us below.

Made a list of 220 courses that are still open for enrollment: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kaWxZG3krI83WfdzlExW... I will work on figuring out the slugs next. For you now, you will need to signup for the course and figure it out. You can also find the same the list on Class Central where you can filter by subjects or sort by rating: https://www.class-central.com/collection/coursera-old-stack
If you go the page where all your archived courses are and run this code it'll give you a list of the slugs :) //////////Grab archived urls var archived = document.getElementsByClassName("link-button primary"); var archivedUrls = []; var slugs = []; for (var i = 0; i function getDatas(LLL){ $.ajax({ url: LLL, dataType: 'text', success: function (data) { var re = /F[a-zA-Z0-9-]*-0\d{2}/; var info = data.match(re)[0];…
Here is a link to updated code to do this:

As someone else pointed out, that is not allowed by the TOS. But quite frankly... now that such content is not freely available anymore, I expect that to begin circulating on the p2p networks anyway.
Speaking of which: a few years ago there was quite awesome astronomy course, which I didn't have time to finish in real-time, and the content was deleted as soon as the course ended. I liked it wa-ay better than any other astronomy-ish stuff they had (and still have) later: it was more about actually modelling the celestial sphere and understanding the movement of the planets, than vaguely speaking about contents of…
I took that course and I really enjoyed it. That's why, I downloaded it and uploaded it to drive when I heard that coursera is gonna delete it. Here's the link:

Keep looking up :D

Isn't it more costly to administer and provide financial aid rather than set n courses as free?

#269In case you want to download as may courses as possible before they fade away, here are some notes. Please forgive me some mistakes, I wrote this a bit in a hurry. =========================== 1) Spawn a virtual server on DigitalOcean. I am using the 40$/month in order to have 40GB of space, but my plan is to shut it down in a day or two. The advantage is to have storage space AND super-fast connection. If you don't w…

Thank you very much for the clarification. Would it be possible for you to share with us the list of the few dozen courses that will not migrate to the new platform?
