Ridiculous, I've learned a great deal from MIT Open Courseware.
I agree that Coursera has it's problems, with the insistence to stick to class start and end dates as one example.
But to extrapolate that therefore online learning doesn't work as a medium is absurd.
- drfloob 10y agoNot so say Coursera doesn't have problems, but the start and end dates don't mean much as of earlier this year, when they rolled out their new platform. There's no penalty for late assignments[0], and you can switch to a later session of the course whenever you want[1].
