Udacity: Online Master's in Computer Science in Collaboration with Georgia Tech

publius2k4 Wrote:College is a business, and a very pricey business at that. MOOC's, CBE's, PLA's, etc. all take away from the college's ability to sell their product. Therefore, they have to downplay their competition and try to make their product (which is truly equivalent) seem like the better option.

110% True - as is the rest of your excellent post. Traditional schools have one other option, though: if you can't lick 'em, join 'em. That's why the B&M schools I went to (mostly at night) now have such a plethora of online offerings. Sadly, they're all at B&M prices - the only saving is on the ridiculous cost of on-campus parking. It's also why so many schools are eager to hype MOOCS and collaborate with the MOOC providers. They realize this is the way of the future. Better a sliver of the pie than have the whole thing waltz out of the kitchen!

Yes indeed - education is education, wherever you get it... That will always be so.
