As Dhawal Shah reports, the Coursera conference and many others went virtual, making them more accessible to people worldwide. In this case, 'more accessible' means that many of the sessions were recorded, but are hidden behind a spamwall so you can't just quickly watch them online. Interestingly, two degrees account for More than half Coursera's degree students: the Illinois' iMBA, and the the University of London's bachelor's in computer science. The pandemic was very good for Coursera, which by making much of its catalogue free for institutions amassed 2.7 million new students and 24M enrollments. It also provided free access to governments, creating more than 100 partnerships this way. Coursera also announced a 'similarity score' for assignments, to detect plagiarism.
