I'm pretty happy with the Crypto class Coursera is running right now. The lectures are pretty info-dense and the homework promotes at least some thinking. I think it's better than the AI class I did the first go around. The best of these classes for me so far, though, is the MITx class on circuits and electronics. The professor is fantastic- great at explaining things and obviously having fun teaching the class. The…
Anyone know why some of the courses offered by the likes of Standford that are available as open (free courses) on iTunesU and across the web aren't available on Coursera? One thing I dislike about the courses on iTunesU is the lack of being able to connect with others who are also studying along with you. There's no community per se
The difference between Courser, Udacity and MITx, from iTunesU , earth academic and the others is that they prime for being a 'real' class. You have deadlines, exercises, projects and so on. And you can interact with your peers.
The new courses look great, but what's the point of offering even more courses when they can't even start the announced ones (i.e. Anatomy)?
And I have to tell you, guys, how much a thrill I feel with these online courses. As a comp. eng. student in brazil, being able to watch classes from stanford and berkely, but not only this, being able to attend classes given by the guys who wrote the books I study with ( Sedgewick and Ullman, for example) makes me very excited and happy. I love living in the 2000!
What's the status of HCI class ? I was so much waiting for it, and now https://www.coursera.org/course/hci just gives 404
There was an email sent on Jan 29 announcing a delay, but I haven't seen anything else since then.

All courses on a single page: https://www.coursera.org/courses I see some overlap among the Algorithms classes: Algorithms I,II from Princeton and Design and Analysis of Algorthms I(there will be II?) from Stanford. I don't think that's a good thing... what's the point?
Is nice to see courses overlap, like 2 classes of Algorithms. It'll make better courses. And I have to tell you, guys, how much a thrill I feel with these online courses.
