I am currently a CS student at MIT and heard that one of my classmates is actually not a student, but paid just to take one course while working full time at a big tech company. If efforts like MITx become very legitimate, it could be a good way to formalize training for employees and educating them on specific subjects. e.g CS generalist takes a graphics course to help in a new endeavor at his/her company.
