Coursera: The 'Amazon' Of Online Education May Grow By Magnitudes - Harrison Schwartz, Seeking Alpha

Increasing student dissatisfaction and declining enrollment suggest that many people are rethinking traditional methods of higher education. The historical value of universities is becoming defunct as the internet allows a more efficient, less expensive, and more accessible vector of transmitting knowledge. Innovative platforms like Coursera offer students a huge "marketplace" of high-quality courses far less expensive than those in traditional universities. Given Coursera's minimal barriers to growth and its massive total addressable market, I would not be surprised to see its annual revenue rise by 10X or more within years.
