Coursera down or not working? You're not alone

If you’re experiencing difficulties accessing Coursera, find solace in knowing that you aren’t the only one having issues lately.

A section of users is currently facing an issue where they see a screen displaying the message, ‘Sorry, we are down for maintenance’ when they open the Coursera website.

A quick look at micro-blogging site Twitter conveys there are many others affected by the same issue. Here are some reports for reference:

@coursera Unable to access an ongoing course. Stopped abruptly. Doesn’t load. Any ongoing outage? (Source)

@coursera the website shows “down for maintenance”, please is there somebody can suggest how long it would take? (Source)

Hello @coursera, I am unable to access my courses, what can be the issue, please assist at earliest. Thank you (Source)

Downdetector – a popular service that gives information about live outages – also conveys that Coursera is indeed going through a glitch in various regions.

This outage is a result of ongoing server maintenance being conducted by the Coursera team. While it can be frustrating to encounter such downtime, it’s important to understand that it is temporary and the service will be back.

Any official word on the matter? Negative, as yet. We’re yet to locate a word from the official service channels or their social media handles.

Rest assured, we’re keeping tabs on all related developments and will update this page with relevant info as and when we come across any.

So in case you’re encountering the problem discussed here, stay tuned to PiunikaWeb for updates.
