Participatory Culture
• With strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations with others

Students may vote for
others’ posts to show their
support if they think the post
is helpful and thoughtful.

Coursera not only has sub-forum, it also has
“sub-comment”. In other words, each of the
responses may also get responses and
support from others, be it a reply or a vote.

“Like all Coursera courses, you don’t have to
write something if you are not confident. But
people, as you know, the forums are very
supportive and people… It’s the atmosphere to
try, which makes it so wonderful.” — a Coursera
student, from Philadelphia Meet-up Video
