- mapleoin 14y agoI guess interacting with other students, having assignments to complete and having someone else look at them, getting a sense of accomplishment after finishing it etc. That's why I sometimes take MOOCs.
- SatvikBeri 14y agoFor me, the automatically graded exercise and access to a forum of people who're working on the same information are two major bonuses. Add in the fact that more and more employers are recognizing Coursera courses and it's a huge value-add.
