They have some great stuff on there.  I took my first course, "Introduction to Sustainability" , https://www.coursera.org/course/sustain (https://www.coursera.org/course/sustain) a couple of years ago.

Congrat's...........and yes they do have some good courses... ;D

I use Lynda.com (http://lynda.com) more, mainly because it is more 'tech' oriented.  One big draw-back to Lynda.....  it's NOT free   :(

.....'free' does help with me.... ;D

How do companies make money when they offer stuff free like that? Advertisers? In my jaded opinion, I don't think anything like that is ''free''. There's someone somewhere making a buck on it. It's like Shari's Free Pie Night on Wednesdays....It's ''included'' with the regular price. Believe me...they have it covered well in that cost of dinner!
(My rant of the day! >:(  I'm over it now! :D)

Of course, (no pun intended) they make something....the advertising, and paying for the next level of classes at the school itself maybe..... ;D

Most of the classes on Coursera require a fee if you want academic credit for the class.  That's never been a concern for me.....  They have started to add more classes that are go-at-your-own-pace.  I like that a lot.  In the past, Ive gotten busy with work and had to drop out of classes before simply because I couldn't find the hours needed to keep up the course work.
