The answer of Vladimir Starostenko, Director of the Centre of E-Learning Development:
On March 4, the international educational platform Coursera decided to suspend cooperation with Russian universities.
Saint Petersburg University highly values every learner and SPbU team is currently doing its best to ensure that you still have access to our educational products. You will be able to continue learning and gain new skills on the SPbU courses launched on other platforms: national platform ‘Open Education’ and SPbU online platform.
An online course is already being implemented on the Open Education platform «Russian for Beginners (RFL A0-A1)». In the near future, it is planned to launch the specialization «Russian Language A1 +: From Elementary to Basic» on the «Open Education» platform. In May-June 2022, it is also planned to launch the sequel «Russian as a foreign language: from A2 to B1».
