Coursera Brings AI-Based Capabilities to Accelerate Digital Skills in Indonesia
JAKARTA – Coursera, a global online learning platform, presents the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based learning solution in Indonesia. This solution can provide a more interactive learning experience.
There are three AI-based learning features that Coursera has introduced, namely Coach for Learning Assistance, Coach for Career Guidance, and Coach for Interactive Instruction. This feature is open to students and teachers who want to build skills.
Course for Learning is a program released to address learning challenges between students and teachers in Indonesia. In this program, teachers can access a virtual assistant that offers feedback, answers, and video summaries in Indonesian.
Unlike Coach for Learning, Coach for Career Guidance was created to help students who want to explore career paths and identify the skills they need. Through this program, students can get learning recommendations.
Meanwhile, Coach for Interactive Instruction is a virtual assistant that is presented to help instructors determine teaching styles and assessment criteria. This feature is supported by Google's large language model (LLM), namely Gemini.
Raghav Gupta, Managing Director of Coursera Asia Pacific, explained that Indonesian-language content has been improved in the past year. Previously, Indonesian language content on Coursera was only 2,000, but now it has increased to 4,700.
Raghav also announced the latest partnership with Prakerja to help the government prepare more workers in the digital era. Announcement of new partnerships and expansion of partnerships with Prakerja, Bank Danamon, DANA Indonesia, Bank BCA, Indonesia Cyber Education (ICE) Institute, Universitas Pembangunan Jaya, and University of Surabaya (Ubaya).

On the other hand, Prakerja Executive Director Denni Puspa Purbasari said that training media is needed to support people who want to improve their skills. To provide the best quality training, Prakerja decided to partner with Coursera.
"This is a never-ending mission for Prakerja because (people's) skills will continue to grow. I am sure, through collaboration, we can overcome this challenge and together build a more inclusive future," said Denni.
