The tension between who is the university for (students or their potential employer) and the tension around what is the university for (knowledge acquisition or for earning an accreditation) is a problem that society has not solved very well.
I had hoped that online learning platforms such as Coursera and Edx would solve this by occupying the "for students" niche and the "for knowledge acquisition at the students preferred pace" niche. It did not quite turn out that way.
Glad you and your students had fun tinkering.
