I'm about halfway through completing MIT EdX's 6.00x and Udacity's CS101 courses and I'm extremely satisfied so far. I think the instruction has been near-perfect. For the first time in my life the material is sticking.
I'm really looking forward to the increases in human skill and potential that comes from educating millions from around the world. That creative genius who never how to code, now has the skills to write innovative software. Or the millions of more average people who've increased their potential - that's valuable as well. Think about what the world would be like if everyone was educated up to the college-level. I think human advancement in science, culture, technology, and the arts would accelerate tremendously.
