There are several people working in ED-Tech, most of it K-12, on HN; the issue with University level is not access, for example I'm currently enrolled in Master level Supply Chain certification courses at Rutgers and CU Boulder via Coursera, it's accreditation.
That's has been the reason why, even someone like myself, we've had to relent to the gatekeepers. What's fascinated me is how quick the race to the bottom has happened since COVID sent most programs into an Online only format, a BSc in Comp Sci from the College of London can be had for 10k GBP, and a MSc from CU Boulder in Electrical Engineering can be had for 20k, a Bsc and MSc for a total of ~35k USD, which is nearly half of what I paid for my BSc in Biology in 2009 in what is supposed to be the most affordable University system in the US (CSU/UC) as a local CA resident/student. And it's entirely online, which if we had UBI, would be to totally doable for just about any family and would allow for PT work and community volunteering/tutoring as well.
It's a noble thing to be able to dedicate your time and labour towards this end, so here are some software roles listed on their Coursera's website [1].
If you want to chat about end-user feedback, and some possible improvements, I'd be open to set that up as I think this is the new model we should usher in to disrupt the monoliths in Academia.
