[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Somewhat OT but why do you block coursera? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 12 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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 https://www.coursehero.com/ not https://www.coursera.org/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 2 points 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
