Coursera Certs Offline - natshar - 03-10-2024
So I signed up for The American Dream Academy. Now I have only until end of April to finish them. I'm going on a trip a in couple weeks. I'm wondering is there a way to work on TADA offline like on an airplane by downloading content? Just wanted to ask.
Also, is there a way to work on the certs on a mobile app? I will not be bringing my laptop on the trip.

Yes when you open up a course you are able to download all the material to study then you have to connect back to wifi/service in order to take the test or quizzes.
I did the same thing during some of my travel and had the entire coursera course of Google marketing downloaded.

@Chimera, you did all that on a laptop, correct? I think it's going to be hard just having a phone to do the review, it's not impossible, but harder to check the contents on a small screen. I believe it's going to take more energy/time to go through material on a phone...
@natshar, If your only option is to use the phone, then you want to make sure you've got the class content downloaded. Depending on the size of your storage space on the phone, you might have limited space for these downloads, I suggest backup the phone...

I actually did it all from my phone, specifically for the Google Certs most of the material is covered in easy to consume videos on the phone and reviewing the documents when you get hung up on a topic is doable but certainly better on a laptop.
I essentially watched a movie or two of Coursera videos during each one of my flights and then brushed up again when i got to a place to finish the quizzes on a computer.
I will say it ate up a ton of space on my phone.

Hmm, I have those no name brand android phones from Amazon, it should be sufficient, but will 'backup' my junk, and clear the phone before I get the downloads...
