Could you be more specific? Is there anything you've watched that is worth viewing? Not all free courses are out there are equal. Sometimes the audio is distorted, and the presenter isn't so good at relaying material or enthusiasm for the material.

My experience with Coursera is that the technical quality is consistent and of suitable quality. In addition faculty is often fully engaged in the discussion forums. In some cases the lead instructor "wrote the book" on the subject and is actively answering questions, e.g. Ullman in Automata.

However, the presentations vary in terms of pure entertainment. This hasn't mattered to me because I select courses by content. Cat videos I can get anywhere.
