Coursera Inc, a leading global online learning platform, is looking to capture the Thai market by providing a large number of courses in Thai and offering features powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to make online learning more personalised and interactive.
The company recommends the Thai government accredit qualified online courses as part of the education system.
Thai is one of seven local languages the company provides course content in as young people want to learn and seek more job opportunities in the area of remote work, said Coursera chief executive Jeff Maggioncalda.
The other six languages are Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, French, German and Bahasa Indonesia.
In Thailand, the company had 815,000 registered learners as of June 30, up 17% year-on-year, with learners enrolled in 1.5 million courses. Of the total, 49% were male, with the remainder being female, with an average age of 31. It has around 129 million registered learners worldwide with the average age being 32.
