It may not but its enabling people to learn new things. The most difficult part which i find if i want to learn things on my own is the direction. Its like when you are reading a book you can not just read different chapters from different places, you may go to other places for references. What online platform like Coursera provides is direction. P.S. Yeah i also doubt that it could ever be replacement for one on one classroom session.
