Certification

This is a big one. Most people would argue that taking online courses that don’t confer college credit is not a very smart move. After all, credits lead to degrees. All employers are looking for degrees, right? That discussion is for another time, but startups are providing records and certifications in a variety of ways. October 08, 2012 at 06:31PM

This is an interesting point we must see and understand - especially if we are working with higher education. The view from inside the universities is not worth anything if the public follows other paths.
