Disappointed by Coursera and Udacity (they positioned for free MOOCs and now they are taking everything back they offered).
More power to KhanAcademy and MIT Open Courseware! For staying true to their mission of providing Free Courses...

Nonsense. Udacity now have paid "Nanodegree" courses alongside their free ones. They haven't removed their free courses, and in fact continue to release new free ones.
Also, their paid courses come with grading and code feedback from humans, so it's not like it was scalable as a free option.
Further, they guarantee you'll get a job based on the Nanodegree courses or you get your money back.
Also, I'm taking their Android nanodegree course on a scholarship and I can say that even that uses their existing free courses for teaching purposes and nanodegree mostly just provides you with projects and deadlines.
