I use the Crash Course videos in the high school economics classes that I teach. They are excellent and very watchable. I also have a high opinion of edx. I completed two of the three differential equations courses for credit on edx. Very tough courses. I almost didn't pass the first. I was about a hundredth of a point away from credit and I worked with the graduate instructor on the course to pass. It was a great moment and I really appreciate that an actual person was there to help with the class.
I also completed the first two of five modules in the San Jose State Java Programming class via Edx. This was when MOOC's were all the rage and it would have meant SJSU credit for me. My problem was that I took it immediately after our twins arrived and I was mostly working on it after midnight when our newborns finally went to sleep. It was a really great class and very difficult. I would rate it as on-par with anything I would have taken at Michigan.
