I'm taking several classes via Coursera to brush up on algorithms/data structures for fun and personal interest, but find it really hard to stay focused on the video lectures. I much prefer to read textbooks when learning any new information. But that's beside the point. I've conducted an interview and the candidate had taken multiple MOOC's on Coursera and Udacity and that really impressed me. Showed that the candidate actually cared about learning and deepening their knowledge in some areas.
