The strong statement from the mentioned robot.cc: >I am against education that is only available to the top 1% of all students. I am against tens of thousands of dollars of tuition expenses. I am against the imbalance that the present system brings to the world. I want to empower the 99%. I want to democratize education. Education should be free. Accessible for all, everywhere, and any time. When this becomes a bit bigger and mainstream, a lot of people will be interested in that space and will be ready (and happy) to pay for it, I guess. And this need not necessarily be the students: revenue could come from course sponsors (like course champions at OCW, http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/ocw-course-champions-program http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/ocw-course-champions-program) or institutions who build own offers around and based on certain courses.
