Critique of Coursera and edX

[jsd]

You're telling me 70% of the field has only an associates, but at the same time bachelors are now becoming the norm (at 30%?) and in some instances a requirement. Honestly it sounds like we're talking about two different things. And since I'm going entirely off what you're telling me (I'm not involved in the field nor interested in doing the research for these stats myself), I'll bow out since the discussion isn't really clear. The only point I was trying to make was that CBE programs know their bread and butter -- primarily Business degree programs, where there is never a lack of customers nor the need to invest in creating niche degree programs.
