They offer interactivity through frequent, built in assessments and sometimes peer discussion and guidance from teaching assistants. Users tend to be already highly educated (surveys indicate +/- 70% already have at least one post-secondary degree) Data gathered from users allow interesting research into online learning habits and preferences. Content is almost always fully copyrighted.
