  We have a different person that manages our block list so I don’t know the reason for all the blocks. That said, we block www.coursehero.com not www.coursera.org

    Oh I thought it was a typo. I have no idea what coursehero is.

    I will say coursera is awesome for their calculus classes. (Or they were like 10+ years ago anyway.) Which caught me up after a long hiatus from college when I returned to finish.

      To be fair, I don’t know that we don’t block coursera as well but the block I specifically saw was for a course hero. And some of the blocks that we have on are for security reasons over reliability reasons. We have to be hyper cautious about the students leaking any potentially PHI and some of the Google sign in setups are less secure than others.
