Disappointed by Coursera and Udacity (they positioned for free MOOCs and now they are taking everything back they offered). More power to KhanAcademy and MIT O

  I haven't used Coursera recently but Udacity still has free courses and anyone can sign up for them. They even keep releasing free courses such as the new Deep Learning course by Google. Also, I'm taking their Android nanodegree course on a scholarship and I can say that even that uses their existing free courses for teaching purposes and nanodegree mostly just provides you with projects and deadlines.

  > Disappointed by Udacity (they positioned for free MOOCs and now they are taking everything back they offered). Nonsense. Udacity now have paid "Nanodegree" courses alongside their free ones. They haven't removed their free courses, and in fact continue to release new free ones. Also, their paid courses come with grading and code feedback from humans, so it's not like it was scalable as a free option. Further, they guarantee you'll get a job based on the Nanodegree courses or you get your money back.

    Thank you for the correction. I edit my comment about Udacity. Sorry looks like It cannot bed edited anymore. But thanks to your comment, users will not be mislead by comment about udacity. I was browsing from my mobile and could not find free courses easily like it used to be so thought it was gone, but now I see we can still access we just have to look further. Thank you!
