I've taken a few.
I didn't find it to be a cakewalk, and I've no clue how some people are completing them as quickly as they are. But I prefer them greatly to butt-in-seat courses, and to the courses that require you to log in every day and participate in discussions and things, and for all the quirks and issues I personally ran into, I have no problems recommending SL.
I will say, in the interest of fairness, if you don't previously have a high level of understanding of the topic, and cannot commit to buckling down and learning the material, SL may not be the best route for you.
