Coursera, Ng says, is about expanding access to the content, if not the full experience. Driven by ever-broader demand, higher education costs have soared in the past two decades, leaving even middle-class families struggling to afford college. Those who can afford a place like Caltech, and who get in, probably aren?t going to abandon that opportunity in favor of an online education. It?s those students who can?t, or don?t, who will avail themselves of the school?s online offerings. Just as important, the a la carte menu of classes will draw in loads of people who aren?t full-time students and who don?t have the time or money to enroll in formal continuing education programs. People like Chris Wilson, who took Ng?s machine learning class online last fall and blogged about it for Slate.
