All courses on a single page: https://www.coursera.org/courses

I see some overlap among the Algorithms classes: Algorithms I,II from Princeton and Design and Analysis of Algorthms I(there will be II?) from Stanford. I don't think that's a good thing... what's the point?

Variety and style are both benefits. Besides, we don't all learn the same way. Multiple teaching approaches to the same subject can increase the cohesiveness of learning.

Cool! Didn't know this page existed. I maintain a similar list of courses over at Class Central - http://www.class-central.com . In addition to Coursera's courses the list also includes courses from Udacity and MITx for easy comparison.

Your page has been my main destination to see which classes are available. Thanks.

No way! It's a fantastic thing! There is no one best way to teach any subject, and even if there were, who is to say that Coursera is well-positioned to decide what that best way is? Diversity in courses covering the same material in conjunction with good tools to aid in the decision-making process for the student will lead to the best outcomes. It's same reason we have so many different universities - it isn't just because of meatspace scaling limitations.

Variety of teaching style or approach to the problem (e.g. theory vs. practice) is a good reason for multiple courses in the same subject to be offered. Even if the approach is broadly the same, some students will just prefer one teacher.

Competition?
