    I don't have any experience taking any of these classes but I would love to take one (just to try it) in the future. More people would definitely be interested in taking the MOOCs classes if it was available for credit- but I guess that would put a lot of the private institutions out of business. In my opinion, flexibility would be MOOC's key to success.
