Opinions on MOOCs

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to see what the general opinion was for taking a few MOOCs and adding them to my profile. I found a few online from Coursera that seem interesting but want to know how much value (if any) it will add to my overall profile and whether it is worth it to get the Verified Certificate with the class?
I was looking to take some of the MOOCs mainly because the classes seem pretty interesting and it would be a good place to have some discussion. Not really taking it to be purely educational. I have a undergrad business degree in finance and accounting so I wouldn't really be looking for core classes that I would need to retake in business school anyway, but rather unique classes that I may not have the opportunity to take later on.
Would love to hear any opinions about MOOCs and whether anybody got the verified certificate from Coursera. I think its only $50 per verified certificate, which isn't a ton of money, but I was thinking about taking a few MOOCs and want to know whether its just a waste of money to pay when I can take them for free.
Thanks for all of the help!
