Benefit the whole world.
For many famous American universities, offering courses is nothing new. MIT put the outlines and courseware of most courses online several years ago. This year, it plans to put all 1800 courses online. But courseware is courseware after all, and videos full of sound and emotion are more attractive, which can also make people feel the classroom atmosphere personally.
The purpose of open classes is not to get you credit and a degree. As long as you are interested in learning, everyone has the opportunity to acquire knowledge. Of course, how much you learn depends on yourself.
