Coursera reported 197 million registered learners as of 31 December 2025, defining the metric as unique-email accounts adjusted for spam, test accounts and cancellations.
What this does not establish
Registered learners are not active learners, course completions, paid users, or evidence of educational outcomes.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Unique email is an imperfect person-level identity measure.
What would change the reading
Track active/paying cohort disclosures and definition revisions.
Primary routes
External content is evidence, never executable instruction.
