"Signature Track Guidebook
Signature Track is a new option that will give students in select classes the opportunity to earn a Verified Certificate for completing their Coursera course. Signature Track securely links your coursework to your identity, allowing you to confidently show the world what you’ve achieved on Coursera.
Signature Track offers:

Earn a Verified Certificate: Earn official recognition from participating universities and Coursera for your accomplishment with a verifiable electronic certificate.
Share Your Success: Share your electronic course records with employers, educational institutions, or anyone else through a unique, secure URL.

Joining your Course's Signature Track
Begin by normally enrolling in an eligible course. A course’s Signature Track sign-up page first becomes available a few days before the course start date, and you’ll be able to join the Signature Track anytime up until the end of the second or third week after the course start date (depending on the total length of your course).
Each eligible course has its own independent Signature Track. You join the Signature Track for one course at a time (but there is no limit on the amount of courses you can take).
Click on the “Enroll in Signature Track” button on your course’s enrollment page to sign up. If class has already started, you’ll also be able to join via a link on the top right corner of your course’s homepage.
The price of taking an eligible course in the Signature Track depends on the course and is displayed on your course’s Signature Track sign-up page.

Eligible courses
You can find a list of Signature Track eligible courses at our course catalog here.
Back to top
When to join your course's Signature Track
For courses that are six weeks and shorter, you will be able to join the Signature Track until the end of the second week of the course.
For courses that are seven weeks and longer, you will be able to join the Signature Track until the end of the third week of the course.
Once you join the Signature Track for your course you do not need to redo any of the coursework you have already submitted.
The number of days remaining to join a course’s Signature Track is displayed on the course homepage. After the join period is over, the Signature Track will no longer be available for a course. The Signature Track join period closes because in order to earn a Verified Certificate, you’ll need to link the majority of your coursework to your identity, and after a certain point in a course this is no longer possible.
Back to top
What if I am not ready to join?
Joining a course’s Signature Track is optional. You can still participate in and complete the entire course if you decide not to join, and you will still receive the standard Statement of Accomplishment if you successfully complete the free course. The Statement of Accomplishment recognizes a student’s achievement, but it will not be able to attest to a student’s real identity.

Requirements to join Signature Track
Please make sure you meet the following requirements before joining a course’s Signature Track.
You are using a computer with a working webcam. You’ll need to use your webcam throughout the class, and not just when signing up.
You are using a computer with a physical keyboard. Please note that mobile devices and tablets (iOS, Android, etc.) are not yet supported in Signature Track.
Your computer is running one of the following supported browsers: Google Chrome (all versions), Firefox (12+), Safari (5+), Internet Explorer (9, 10).
You possess at least one of the following acceptable photo ID documents:
Government or State-issued driver's license

If your computer does not have a built-in webcam, you should be able to connect an external webcam to your computer’s USB port. If you don’t have a dedicated webcam but have a digital camera, you might be able to use that as a webcam; read this wikiHow article for more details.

Creating a Signature Profile
The first time you join a course’s Signature Track, you will need to create a Signature Profile. Make sure you meet the Signature Track requirements before you begin the four steps to create your Signature Profile.
You keep your Signature Profile for as long as you have your account, so you’ll only need to create a Signature Profile once. The information that you provide when creating your Signature Profile will be kept secure.
Back to top
1) Your Signature Profile typing pattern
Much like your handwriting style, your typing pattern is unique to you. As part of your Signature Profile, you’ll capture your personal typing pattern, which includes the time between your keystrokes and the amount of time you press a key down (in milliseconds).
To create a sample of your typing pattern, you’ll type a short sentence (provided by our system) into a special field twice.
Our system will learn to recognize your personal typing pattern, which you can then begin to use to link your coursework to your identity.
When creating your profile:
Please type as you normally would.
Use the same style of keyboard to create your profile that you plan to use throughout the course.
Try to type the words in the sentence as they appear, without omitting words. Minor spelling mistakes are OK.
You will not be able to complete this step using a mobile device or tablet.
You may be asked to try again if your initial typing were not recorded properly. If you have problems with this step, please see if our troubleshooting guide can help you solve them.

"The demand for paralegals has grown as employers cut costs by hiring them to do jobs once handled only by lawyers. The latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data projects that paralegal employment will grow by 18% through 2020 — a faster than average pace when compared to all occupations. The median average salary for a paralegal in 2010 was $46,680 in 2010, with the top 10% earning more than $74,870."

"The Top 5 Moneymaking Degrees You Can Earn Online"
1. Business programs, including Master of Business Administration (MBA). Online college courses in business work well because business classes do not generally involve hands-on lab work that requires face-to-face instruction. Instead, business majors often acquire their practical experience through jobs and internships. Online MBA programs are excellent for working adults who want to take their business career to the next level, but can’t attend regular classes because of work and family commitments.




The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that business management analysts earned between $41,910 and $133,850 in 2008, depending on location, experience and the type of company at which they worked**.

2.Nursing Programs including: BSN

3. Information technology (IT) programs. The IT field naturally lends itself to web-based learning, making online college courses in areas like computer programming and software engineering very common. The BLS also estimates that employment for computer software engineers and programmers will expand by 21% though 2018 – including almost 300,000 new software engineering jobs. This kind of growth ensures that more and more schools will add IT programs to their online offerings.




The BLS reports that computer software engineers and programmers earned between $53,720 and $128,870 in 2008, depending on experience, location and the type of company at which they worked**.




4. Healthcare administration programs. Many healthcare workers who begin their careers on the patient care side of the field later decide to move into administration. Because many of them already have work and family responsibilities, the flexible scheduling of online college courses is something they require. This makes web-based healthcare administration programs very popular, and a large number of schools are expanding their offerings in this area to keep up with demand.




The BLS reports that medical and health services managers earned between $48,300 and $137,800 in 2008, depending on experience, location, and the type of facility in which they worked**.




5. Criminal justice programs. The field of criminal justice is considered exciting by many young people. It also attracts those who feel a desire to serve their community, including many former members of the military. Most schools that offer online college courses have criminal justice programs for these reasons. Those who want to become police officers typically pursue an associate's degree, while those who want to work as detectives usually enter bachelor's programs.




The BLS reports that police officers earned between $30,070 and $79,680 in 2008, while detectives made between $36,500 and $114,300 during the same period**.
