Is Coursera underutilized?

[JayKosmos]

I feel like Coursera isn't discussed or recommended as much as I'd expect, am I missing something?

TESU has said that the course I'm already taking anyway for a professional certificate through Coursera is eligible for credit through ACE.

When I look through the wiki for TESU it never recommends Coursera, but when I do the math, it seems more cost effective than whatever is recommended like all the S's (Study, Saylor, Sophia, Straigherline, etc.)

What am I missing? 

Since I'm already doing the $60 a month Coursera Plus which lets me do multiple programs at once, I want to explore this further but am having trouble finding detailed information about TESU and Coursera, and I don't want to keep badgering my advisor with every question that comes up.

I have looked over the ACEnet.edu site and their recommendations for coursera credits but it doesn't tell you what specific schools will do with them, and again, don't wanna badger the advisor whenever I get an idea lol.

Is it just a newer option that hasn't been utilized that much yet? Am I doing the math wrong on cost per credit? Are the other sites a lot easier to complete? What am I missing?

[wow]

There is a page on the wiki dedicated to Coursera so I recommend starting there. If you are finding Coursera courses that could be listed on specific TESU degree plans but aren't, feel free to add them to the wiki degree plans yourself. It likely means that the last person who updated the degree plan didn't know about the Coursera options, or the Coursera options were not available at the time that they updated it.

And honestly, the only way to know for sure if a Coursera course is going to fit into your degree plan is by asking your advisor, so don't feel bad about contacting them.
