Hi Fred,
I'm not as up to speed as normal on this but having been reading this
article on Cousera...
http://chronicle.com/article/How-an-Upstart-Company-Might/133065/
Thus far I think that there are quite a few questions about Cousera's
approach and business model which bear careful reflection.
Kind regards,
John
