DataHack Radio

Have you ever wondered how Coursera uses data science? Sure we have all taken (or heard of) their courses but how does the platform make use of the amount of data that's generated? How does their pricing strategy work for certificates? How is their data science team structured? What tools and techniques do they use?

These are just some of the questions answered in this phenomenal podcast. We had the pleasure of hosting Coursera's Head of Data Science, Emily Glassberg Sands, who gave us a detailed and thorough explanation of how Coursera functions behind the scenes.
