Actually, I did include courses I took in my resume + on my LinkedIn profile and guess what? Most of HR managers I talked to had no clue there is such a thing. I don't think the courses I took impressed them, but the fact that I know of such website and tried it showed them I want to constantly learn, improve and explore and earned me some points. Moreover, I explained them how can they save their budget on education for employees if they introduce them to Coursera and motivate them to take some courses to learn new stuff. Taking courses on Coursera is not just about learning new stuff, but also:
- connecting with students worldwide on forums (or even Facebook groups - we have one for class of World History since 1300)
- being able to study alone when you don't have to - nobody forces you to take these courses, watch videos and write assignments, so taking Coursera courses also shows you are highly motivated
- improving English for international students
