Hmm, I usually wouldn't take a course just for the "fun" of it; having said that, I would take it if the subject matter is interesting. The majority of the time, I am frugal and look to see if the courses are either for credit or helps me keep updated or is in a subject that I am seeking more knowledge in...
I think Study.com and Saylor.org are great, Study.com is a tad expensive just for the knowledge as most of their courses are lower level and/or introductory, their upper level courses are more in depth and closer to a "real college" traditional course as it'll have assignments.

If I took an AI course I would want it to include a lot of fun projects that I'm interested in.
The Study.com course is 1 paper and a lame project.
