All the research I've seen around MOOCs and online only learning is that it's pretty tough for people to stick at, and only 5-10% of people ever complete a course. I just can't see that putting people in front of a computer to do this sort of thing is a good strategy for everyone.

- insane_dreamer 2y agoyou're right, it's not but if the cost of doing so is so much less than the in-person experience, then it will become the norm, while the in-person experience becomes relegated to the wealthy like those who can afford private colleges today. And not that many professors will be needed, so good luck!
- oytis 2y agoFrom my experience - that's mostly because courses are useless for career. So attending them is an optional, low priority activity. If you could actually get a respectable degree or skills on a CV that matter for anything other than junior-most positions (if at all), you would see higher completion rate. The quality of material itself is often pretty good. That varies from course to course of course, but I must say I started understanding electronics only after an edx course despite having it in my university.
