Another issue some might have with Coursera is that the courses are not self-paced and you have to wait for sessions to start. I'm hoping Saylor gets more courses evaluated by NCCRS and that maybe Udacity will think about ACE or NCCRS evaluation.
I look forward to Coursera getting some of their courses approved. The same for Saylor with NCCRS, although given that this approval isn't as widespread as ACE I wish Saylor would consider go for this one as well. The more these alternatives become available for undergraduate work at least the better it will be for everyone IMO. No more getting into serious debt for a bachelor's degree!
