This seems right: "Coursera, Udacity, and other MOOC providers are riding a wave of venture capital, but I've yet to hear a coherent business plan from any of them. At some point the capital will run out, and unless some way of paying the developers and maintainers is found (Coursera has 20 people on their "team page"), the companies will collapse. I suggest that people who want to participate in one of the MOOCs do so in the next year, because it is not clear whether the idea will find a way to become self-sustaining or not. Right now, the courses are free because they are heavily subsidized. That subsidy is unlike to last long."
