Hi! I'm Laura, a New Community Manager at Coursera!

Depends on your interests @Laura

My main interest is Space. I mentor four courses on the subject on Coursera, more elsewhere.
Recently I have added Circular Economy ones, I mentor a few here and, again, elsewhere.
I love the Archeology ones, like The Truth in your Bones. Extinctions Past and Present is s relevant right now as we are in the sixth major extinction event.
Many of my most loved courses are not available anymore, regretfully.

I think it will be very useful to take at least one course, so you can experience what it is all about. The problems mentors face. The features that would make your experience better.

Enjoy your time here!

Hi @Laura, yesterday, i was looking at the the people online and found you among them. I was however apprehensive, whether you actually joined yet or not as i opened your profile and saw your title as Community Manager but didn't see any posts. It seems just like this new community platform, you are new to Coursera too. Claire has been in Community Management for long and i am sure you too will have a great time together while interacting with learners here. Our uniqueness and diversity makes us distinct and recognizable.

Hi Laura, dear! I am very excited to meet you. Your interesting background magnetized me to you specially along organizational leaderships, social-ecological justice and interactions of human and animal welfare. I was wondering if you are inclined to Veterinary Medicine. Welcome to amazing Coursera !

Hey Laura,

I am Annesha & I love learning too. Nice to meet you here. I am a mentor of An Introduction to American Laws since 2015; English Common Laws since 2016 which will end soon; Social psychology since 2018; Global human rights SDG talk since 2018; Changing Global Order since 2018; International Law since 2018; London University, Leiden University, Wesleyan University are extremely special for me. Thank you for this new community.

Hi Laura. Welcome.
I agree with Lochcarron, It would be invaluable to take at least on course to get a feel for the whole thing, how it works and how it could be improved
If you are interested in mindfulness, you might want to check out Leiden University's De-mystifying Mindfulness course. It is a six week (module) course that looks at mindfulness from both an academic perspective and a practical one. It has remained one of my favorite Coursrea courses (although I may be a bit biased in its favor, as it is one of the courses i mentor) out of the lot that I have taken from Coursera.

A huge warm welcome from me too @Laura . We are privileged to have someone with your wonderful background in our community. Great to have you here. We hope you like it too. I started a thread on asking for opinions on Life Sciences courses, which might also interest you here: https://coursera.community/networking-social-discussion-5/what-is-the-best-life-sciences-course-you-have-taken-90 . I mentioned Introduction to Genetics and Evolution by Prof. Noor there as one of my top favorites. It includes Zoology as well, which you might like due to your background. :)

@Laura , it might be interesting to take the Mentor course. You would get a good idea of the many kinds of people and courses that interest others. You don’t have to do the assignments although a few might be fun to try as well as gain experience peer grading.

Be careful because taking Coursera courses can become addicting! They are amazing! As they tell us in the Help Center, “Happy Learning!”

Welcome Laura:)
Thanks for joining our community.
