But now say I did a MOOC.
For MITx's 7.00X: Introduction to Biology, I watched Eric Lander lecture first year MIT students and I did weekly assignments and an exam. Does that mean I'm self-taught in introductory molecular biology and genetics?
If not, what was it I did that was different from the OCW case, or the YouTube-watching case, or the textbook-reading case?
But if so, if it was self-learning, what did I do differently from the actual MIT students in the class?
