Clicking the link takes the reader to the article with the following headline:
Stanford, Princeton & 3 other elite varsities to offer free online classes - The Economic Times: "Five prestigious US universities will create free online courses for students worldwide through a new, interactive education platform dubbed Coursera, the founders announced on Wednesday.
The two founders, both professors of computer science at Stanford University, also announced that they had received $16 million in financing from two Silicon Valley venture capital firms.
Coursera will offer more than three dozen college courses in the coming year through its website at coursera .org, on subjects ranging from Greek mythology to neurology , from calculus to contemporary American poetry"

It is clear that readers can take some courses online through the Coursera website but that is quite different than attending top US Colleges.
