I did a maths course with Coursera that finished early this year. I've just checked and I can still access the course materials [1]. This is a course that is still running new sessions, and that may not be true for courses that end.
And its worth remembering that Coursera allows videos and pdfs to be downloaded, which I get into the habit of doing as I progress through a course.

- agumonkey 11y agoI remember the same thing, but it may be a case by case option. Many coursera courses had subtle differences (grading rules and process).
- jfaucett 11y agoYes, I think it is a case by case thing. The stanford courses are always available Im pretty sure, I know others fall out though. Also the fact you cant just click and download the whole course as a compressed file (like MIT) is a shame, especially for people with limited or no internet connections like where my family lives. There you really do need to be able to go to a library and download the course which you can then take home for your studies. People in tech forget this but believe it or not over half the world doesnt have internet (http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm).
- dagw 11y agoThe problem is that this only works if you where signed up for the course when it was active. If you find an interesting course in their archives that has already closed, you often cannot look at the course material.
- andyjohnson0 11y agoTrue, I guess. But then again Coursera isn't a library. As other commenbters have said, course material can often be found on the net if you look in the right places.
