I develop online course materials as well. The big problem is the market for self-study/MOOCs just isn't there so it is really hard to actually monetize these types of courses. For Anthony and other MOOC course developers, we are mostly drive my passion for the subject and the thought of making a difference in the world. Of course this does have an added negative impact in the sense that we have to basically do everything ourselves (write the content, record the videos, develop the graphics, develop the videos - everything) which causes content to be dragged out for years.

The course I am working on has been in development for over a year.
