Coursera Changes Revenue Sharing Terms

Vonnegut · Aug 29, 2021

So today Coursera is announcing what it has called a “new economic model” in how it splits revenue with the colleges it works with, which for some colleges will mean getting a bigger cut. The new arrangement is tiered so that the more revenue a college generates via Coursera courses, the less the college has to share with Coursera. Specifically, universities get a minimum of 60 percent of the revenue, but could now see as much as 75 percent in the highest tier of activity...

...“What Coursera needs is significant and long-term growth of its Degrees business, and these lower revenue-sharing fees provide a strong competitive position,” Hill told EdSurge in an email interview. “A few dozen Degree partners is interesting but not sufficient. Coursera will need to prove that it can both attract new OPM-style degree partners and that it can do so with some hope of making that a profitable business line.”

I love how it says "OPM-style" as if Coursera and edX haven't been straight up OPMs for years now.

Imagine they're trying to divert from the notion that their model is arguably becoming a dirty word now... which is probably what this entire revenue sharing change is about.
