<p>Curious as to how many CCers and their parents are taking advantage of these (currently) free online options. Or do you see them as just for people who don't have/can't get access to IRL college?</p>

<p>I have my kid use Coursera every now and then, and it’s useful for people who live remote from major urban centers, et cetera. But going to college “online” is like watching a cooking show and never getting to eat what’s made.</p>
