For-Profit Fiasco: California Public Colleges Turn to Web Courses
- spikels 14y agoMore people attacking online education. While again mostly based on misunderstandings I have some sympathy for the argument that this may be best done by a non-profit. I'm a little worried what may happen when Coursera tries to monitize their platform. I hope they take a gentle approach keeping courses free for students. What if the Gates foundation bought or built a MOOC? Also not sure I understand the politics involved. Steinberg seems to be taking a pretty aggressive approach which may hurt online education by energizing opposition to it generally. That said I'm sure any of the modern systems will be an improvement to the current poorly designed online courses at CA public colleges.
