Awesome, I just finished reading the "about the course" sections and decided to enroll for Cryptography and Technology Enterpreneurship
It 's been a long time since the last time I was on a uni course and I 'm really going to have fun with these two

The only problem is that it wont count as college credit.

Very interesting.
MIT also has many of their lectures online for free.
You can find them all here: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/
Alot of the CS and engineering courses have all their lecture videos on there (alot of kids don't go to class and watch from their dorm/apartment instead).

Tbh i don't think this really matters as the whole point of it is to learn something and if you get enough from the course/course's along with your other skills you could be making far more than ANY employer would offer you,
Good share, thanks

I signed up for a course about a month ago. The course is set to start in January. Can't believe I'm going back to school after 40 years. LOL

Imagine how awesome if someone created a legit online college that provided free courses that counted towards a degree
With ads+email submit the college could still make a profit and keep expanding. Instead of directly hosting the vids on their website,they can host them on youtube,and earn money though adsense as well,by becoming a youtube partner.

Forget about degrees man, most important = knowledge
But a degree still has bragging rights.

Only if it's from a top school (in which case there's additional value: networking, connections).
Otherwise it's a load of debt for stuff you could have learned on your own (unless we're talking lab sciences) + 4 years of partying, which admittedly was very fun
