In the Week 1 instructions, over in the Coursera class, we provide the SAS OnDemand for Academics instructions. The Coursera class is slightly different from the Programming 1 class on our site. As an example, Coursera requires that we organize the classes in "Weeks" while on our web site, the classes are organized into "Lessons". The content is the same, but organized differently. In addition, Coursera only offers the equivalent of Programming 1 in a "specialization package" with 2 other courses. On our web site, we offer each class as an individual class, separately purchase-able.
The best place to post your questions regarding using the Getting Started class on the Coursera platform is in the Discussion Forums reserved for Coursera students. We have instructors who are monitoring the Coursera Discussion Forums and who understand the structure of the classes and the instructions that were explicitly written for Coursera students. If you do NOT want to post in the Coursera discussion forums, then please send mail to Coursera@sas.com with your specific question and issues. You should NOT use any zip file from our web site for use with Coursera. Similarly, all the videos on our web site show the method of making the data by following our instructions, not the Coursera instructions. When you post a question on the Coursera platform, the instructors will help you find the right zip file and if you need a video for the Coursera instructions then we have videos specifically for Coursera students. We don't post the Coursera videos in the Communities in order to avoid confusion. Please either post in the Coursera discussion forums or send mail to Coursera@sas.com for specific help using the Coursera instructions for the Getting Started class.
Thanks,
Cynthia
