Coursera resurrects the lost art of underwater basketweaving

In honor of April Fools Day, Coursera releases a class on underwater basketweaving, making education about this spiritual, artistic, and functional practice accessible to anyone with internet and a tub.

Dear Minnesota, free online education is a good thing (yeah, really)

Coursera's slogan is "Higher education that overcomes the boundaries of geography, time, and money." Except, of course, for the state boundaries of Minnesota.
