I did the original ai-class, plus a couple from coursera, and a couple from udacity. I also have a bachelor's degree. The quality of learning from these online courses totally trumped my in-person degree. For me, the ability to rewind certain parts of the lectures over and over was incredibly useful, and I was able to save time running certain parts at 2-5x speed. The use of pop-up quizzes every 5 minutes really forced me to learn the material. The fact that the content was produced for online presentation made a big difference compared to simply recording a traditional lecture.
