Coursera is a place where people addicted to online learning can get a fix. I think by default all of their courses are free. I get to take courses taught by professors I may never meet who teach at universities I may never be admitted to as a student, so it is in many ways an honor to have access to the information in the courses. I have yet to actually finish a Coursera course, but they don't seem to mind. It is someplace you can go for the joy of learning without the anxiety that comes with accountability.

I've been dabbling with being a participant in MOOCs, #change11 probably being the first one I tried. Since then I've tinkered in Coursera, Udacity, Udemy, Canvas, and a couple others. I look forward to the unit we do on MOOCs because it may help me understand why I get confused as I go from MOOC to MOOC because the style, presentation, and expectations differ so much from one to another.
