Is anybody else able to download the compilers course? I'm having trouble.
I feel Coursera's pricing strategy is located at two opposite extremes and misses out an entire range of options in the middle. They either make an entire course completely free with no option to pay even if the student wants to, or they put it behind a paywall where one can't even start without paying. They along with their institutional partners are missing out revenue from people like me who'd like to pay some amo…
Are there any successful ventures with such "pay-what-you-like" pricing strategy? Having unsuccessfully tried such a pricing model myself, I have serious doubt about it's viability. Majority will not pay anything, very few will pay reasonable amount, and some will pay very little but will be very high maintenance. Payer: God dammit, I paid for your service and I want one hour of your support time. Company: How much d…
Not sure if it's applicable outside that market, but it might.

I also found https://class.coursera.org/crypto-010/lecture and https://class.coursera.org/crypto-preview/lecture but I think the first one is newer. There's also https://class.coursera.org/ml-003/lecture So I guess yours is newer. Found as well: https://class.coursera.org/automata/lecture https://class.coursera.org/hci/lecture https://class.coursera.org/pgm/lecture And others. I just did a Google site search: site:cl…
Speaking of this, I got an email about the following issue:
The Coursera boneheads decide to do this. What does this mean for the crypto II class?
DELAYED AGAIN! It's been delayed for YEARS. YEARS I say. Another delay because of asinine greed.
Would anyone be kind enough to provide a script for downloading assignments and quizzes?
I always wanted to work through the algorithms MOOCs from Princeton but I kept putting it off. Profs Sedgewick and Wayne are phenomenal teachers. Anyone know if this course will be available in the future? (probably not, since they had no certificates etc, and I don't see them going along with paid-for-quizzes courses, but it doesn't hurt to ask)
I'm in the same boat. Found https://github.com/coursera-dl/coursera-dl and was able to download part 1 and 2.
It is truly sad to see Coursera getting greedier by the day. I can honestly say this website changed my life, I was living in a third world country and still in high school when I enrolled in Andrew Ng's machine learning class and thanks to that MOOC I was able to get a machine learning job building recommender systems for a Canadian company straight out of high school. There are plenty of amazing MOOCs that Coursera…
If institutional partners treated MOOCs as a marketing exercise for their university's brand, instead of trying to monetize courses and certificates, people could continue to have this content for free. Unfortunately, universities don't exactly exemplify long-term thinking. Most of the content for these MOOCs is created by professors as part of their jobs, so this content is owned by their universities. I bet a vast…

It probably depends on what the product or service is, and how it's sold. Coursera already provides some courses for free, and even those attract some high maintenance types from what I've seen in the forums. Does providing a pay-what-you-want option increase the number of nasties or the degree of nastiness, for example, inviting legal risks? I don't really know. But I feel Coursera should atleast experiment and gath…
A quick 'back of the envelope' estimate of revenue and cost of BandCamp service (enough public info available) seem to suggest this pricing model might have low profitability.

Well the "humble indie bundle" is doing well with this pricing strategy. Not sure if it's applicable outside that market, but it might. http://humblebundle.com/
I don't know if unlocking everything by default would work that well.
