I was just looking at Coursera last week along with edx.org (which is created by MIT and Harvard). I found several classes I would like to take. For me, I want to learn new things but not necessarily go back to school. Seems like a good way to do that. On top of that, there are a couple I would like my son to take when he is in high school like the Intro to Solid State Chem. from MIT.

I would also say that there is more to college than just taking a class. There can be a lot gained from sitting in a class and participating in discussions. For that reason, this will never replace a traditional classroom.
