Man. I having some serious thoughts about online College startup ideas for the last few weeks or so. You know sometimes who like an idea so much you think about every single details of the project down to pro and cons and organizational structure and potential number of employees and potential amount of investment of such a project, legal problems, accreditation, on-premise exams, cost per course as opposed to cost per credit, on-promise lab classes for applicable courses (Chemistry, biology, physics, electronics), potential design of the website, free course materials, free study materials, free video complementary with each courses.
I am so engrossed with the idea, I have thought of almost every single aspect of such a potential institution and how much I might need to get started. Approx ~$20million and 2 years to get most traditional, on-demand courses available for everyone to study for free, charging only for each course exams - regardless of the credit - same amount.
Only problem. No money.
I think this has enormous potential, both within USA and outside USA. Imagine anyone, anywhere can get a college degree that is as good as getting a college degree in USA (accreditation by CHEA) similar to what British Council does with O'Level/A'Level exams.
Ok, maybe a bit crazy but I want to do it so bad.
