Credits for MOOCs

What I have found out so far is there is so much they include.Im still undecided on it all. Ok so the main thing for  me is they are not accredible.Which may be ok if your sombody just looking to enhance a skill you already have like in building a search engine or somthing along those lines. Because we know that technology and software is always being updated and changing. Enhancing their knowledge will help that person out by improving their skills and maybe even help get them that new promotion.Or in this day in age just keep their job.As far as somone already in college they have a lot on thier plate already I could use the Mooc as extra help.But at the same time i dont want to be distracted from the classes im actully paying money for.Where im also getting credits to graduate with. In a Mooc u may recieve a certificate.But lets face it is this a certificate world were living in. No its more like a graduate with  a degree world.More and more students  are now going for their masters without thinking twice about the lenght of time requierd.Acoording to the newyork times an artical stated that  Universites hope to give credits for moocs on day in the near future. Where just like in a college you walk in with your previous credits and your compinsated for them .
