Please see my reply above, but to answer your specific question regarding the content being the same;
If I watch the MOOC courses from the MIT's CS Masters for 2024, would that mean that I've got an Offline Masters in CS from MIT? Same content, as you put it.
And if it doesn't matter if it's offline or online, why not be transparent about it? Why go as far as to straight up lie about it being an offline masters degree, when it doesn't matter, as you put it?

- NYUTandonScam 2y agoWatching lectures online as part of a short of 5k people when you paid $18k for it, and watching courses in person as part of a cohort of 20 people having paid $70k for it are two different things.
- alan-hn 2y agoHow is the learning different? All you're doing is listing costs and numbers of people then hand waving the rest which is what matters. Is there a difference in information retention? Understanding of the material? Or is a degree just an expensive piece of paper to you

- alan-hn 2y agoI found it much more convenient and comfortable to watch lectures on my own time in my office at home. Professors were always very responsive and helpful when I emailed them with questions and were available by zoom if I needed to meet. Not sure what the number of people matters, and a large part of the cost of college is maintenance of buildings. So yes, it actually IS better.
