Summary: Coursera launches 50% off New Year sale

Why It Matters: The platform is using a large price drop to attract new students and teams at the start of the year. This could make it harder for others to win over price-sensitive learners right now.

What Changed:

• Added a "New Year savings" promotion offering 50% off Coursera Plus.
• Added a 50% discount for the "Coursera for Teams" business product.
• Removed several detailed sections showing specific course ratings and partner logos (Google, IBM, Microsoft).
• Removed the "Explore careers" section that showed median salary data for roles like Data Scientist and Cyber Security Analyst.
• Simplified the homepage by removing many direct links to specific course categories and trending classes.
