The price of 'open' is $US 59 per month, at least in the world of Coursera. I think maybe it's time to stop using the word 'MOOC' to describe these providers, because they're really nothing more than just another publisher charging money for online content (indeed, they're more expensive than most such providers; even the New York Times costs less than half that amount). Dhawal Shah notes that the rollout has been very uneven, isn't consistently documented, and doesn't appear to be available to everyone.
