"'When Coursera makes money, we’ll make money, and when we make money, the faculty member will make money.' - Lynne O'Brien, director of the center for innovative teaching at Duke."

..."Any revenue from the Antioch deal is hypothetical at the moment. "
"For Coursera, ...Antioch deal is a first step toward developing a product that it can sell to colleges: 'self-contained' online course platforms, complete with built-in content and assessment infrastructure. ...'It’s not just the box, it’s a course in a box.'"
...
Coursera-Antioch "deal represents one of the first instances of a third-party institution buying permission to incorporate a MOOC into its curriculum -- and awarding credit for the MOOC"
...Coursera "will share... revenue [from Antioch] with the universities, which own intellectual property rights for their courses as part of their contracts with Coursera."

"As part of the arrangement, the students are paired with an Antioch faculty member who will serve as a sort of independent study adviser, discussing the material regularly and assigning some supplemental work.... although [Antioch] expects that ratio will eventually expand to roughly the size of a typical class ...about 20 or so students per instructor.
"Antioch’s strategy is to make a compelling offer to cost-conscious students who want to finish their bachelor’s degrees after completing two years at a community college.
..."Coursera, the largest provider of massive open online courses (MOOCs), has entered into a contract to license several of the courses it has built with its university partners to Antioch University, which would offer versions of the MOOCs for credit as part of a bachelor’s degree program.
...
"So far Coursera has seen a relatively small proportion of the students who register for its courses actually complete them — although no one knows how much of that can be attributed to the hands-off role of the instructors and how much to the fact that registrants are not putting any money at risk."
