Providers of Free MOOC's Now Charge Employers for Access to Student Data
- josephlord 14y agoAs the Coursera one is a student opt-in option this looks like a really good idea to me. It sounds like the Udacity one is opt-in too so it sounds completely positive.

- pitt1980 14y agoI'm curious, would you opt in if it meant mining through your minute by minute click history? if you're hiring, you can get alot more data about the udacity student you're hiring than you can about the U Phoenix student, or the Big State U student with U Phoenix student, or the Big State U, you get a list of classes taken and a letter grade earned with Udacity you could get that, plus a detailed click history, do they do things early? do they wait until the last minute for everything? do they stick to a set schedule? do they comment in class forums? there is alot more data that can be mined to predict successful hires would you be open to opting in to let companies sift through that data?
