Andrew Ng, left, co-founder and chairman of the board of Coursera, leads the board of the company as it navigates its initial public offering.
Online learning platform Coursera filed an application last week to become a publicly traded company and sell shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol COUR.
The initial public offering was long anticipated by industry analysts but is notable because few education-technology companies have taken the plunge. Most fail to reach the scale of companies such as Chegg and 2U, two publicly traded companies that announced their IPOs eight and seven years ago, respectively.
