It seems this would hinge on defining coursera as a "college"?

I'm assuming this was legislation passed in order to prevent people creating bogus for-profit universities.

But coursera doesn't charge money or offer accredited qualifications.

So how would this differ from any other educational site, like say stackoverflow?

Does it hinge around the fact that it is unofficially associated with certain existing universities like Stanford etc by using their logos and lecturers?
