Tbh any MOOC that "needs only 2-4 hours a week" is, by design, an entry level course and taking more of those won't help you progress.

On the other hand, you shouldn't lump together and dismiss all MOOCs as there are plenty of more advanced ones that will definitely make a difference. For example, 90% of MIT classes such as Intro to Statistics https://www.edx.org/course/fundamentals-of-statistics or CMU Deep Learning http://deeplearning.cs.cmu.edu/

There is an EdX version of it (with problem sets) : https://www.edx.org/course/fundamentals-of-statistics

The EdX course is very good and is organized by the staff from the OCW course.

I am taking the course right now. It is very good but it is also very hard. You need to spend between 10-20 hours each week for the lectures and homeworks.
