The U.S. based-online learning platform Coursera has announced that the users can now use Alipay to earn and purchase Verified Certificates according to the company website. Three months later, Coursera partnered with Chinese science community Goukr to translate English courses into Chinese. Since then, NetEase has been operating the Chinese version of Coursera, ‘Coursera Zone’, translating video courses into Chinese and supporting video hosting in China. Until now, Chinese users have had to find a way around the payment process, which requires a Visa or MasterCard-enabled account. Baidu leverages its own Q&A site Baidu Zhidao and works with after-school tutoring platform Zuoyebang, as well as offering video courses on Baidu Weku.
