April Fool's???

HeckI was browsing coursera today and I noticed a course, recommended to me, for underwater basket-weaving.  I was intrigued because I knew it's April 1st, so I am looking out for interesting things on the net (I don't believe anything in my RSS feed today :p).

In any case, I clicked on the course  (see screenshot) and it has all the trappings of a joke


when looking at the institution's page, you get a 403 error:


Heck, even the intro video seems like a hoax:




Someone please confirm that this is a joke :-)
