Happy Lee Del Canto Sabag did this video interview (below or

Coursera.
Coursera
From Wikipedia:
Coursera (/kɔrsˈɛrə/) is an educational technology company founded by computer science professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller from Stanford University. Coursera works with universities to make some of their courses available online, and offers courses in engineering, humanities, medicine, biology, social sciences, mathematics, business, computer science, and other areas.
Business model
The contract between Coursera and participating universities contains
a "brainstorming" list of ways to generate revenue, including
certification fees, selling student information to employers (with
student consent), tutoring, sponsorships and tuition fees.[2][3] As of March 2012, Coursera was not yet generating revenue.[4]
That July, certification and the sale of information to potential
employers was being explored. Thus far the company has been funded by
$16 million in venture capital awarded in April 2012.[5] John Doerr suggested that people will pay for "valuable, premium services".[6] Any revenue stream will be divided, with schools receiving a small percentage of revenue and 20% of gross profits.[7][3]
In January of 2013, Coursera announced that the American Council on Education had approved five courses for college credit [8]
