I've done this with Coursera classes. I just sign up for them so that they're always saved in "My Courses" and go through the video lectures at my leisure. I miss the grading and a lot of the live discussion, but the notes and lectures are certainly valuable.
- tomku 13y agoIt's worth noting that some classes do actually disable access to the lectures and course site for students after a cut-off date. I can't speak for all of the classes from these schools, but all the classes I've taken from Princeton, Johns Hopkins and U-Penn through Coursera do that. They do allow you to download the videos, so if you're planning on taking a class from one of those schools at your own pace, just be sure to download the lecture videos and slides before the end date.
