Is this for their OpenCourse Ware thing? IMO MIT OCW is very underrated and looked over in favor of Coursera, which I've almost always found inferior.

I've never taken a full class in either, but although Coursera seems more structured (they have quizzes, tests, homework autograders), my impression is that Coursera is more technically diluted. This is for the CS and stat courses I have tried.

A lot of MIT OCW courses have all of those aside from the autograders, but the reason I prefer OCW to Coursera is because OCW is self-paced.

Many Coursera courses move very slowly (not their fault since they're taking thousands of students), or move too fast and have too much "homework" for a 9-5er. What's worse, some don't let you get ahead! With OCW I can set my own times and pace myself for my kind of learning.

I also prefer college lectures and books to Coursera lectures. Like you said, Coursera content can be too simple.

Most of the Coursera courses I take are actual college courses, like this algorithms one - https://class.coursera.org/algs4partI-009 They are a lot of work to keep up with, but the good ones have deadlines about a month past the 'end' of the course so you can work at a much slower pace.

This is part of MIT's partnership with edX, which is different from the OpenCourseWare initiative.
