    without accredidation, this means nothing, not being negative, being realistic.

    I hope they get accredited. Education is essential. I like Free-Ed and MIT Opencourseware along with free lectures for learning things. The internet is capable of educating millions.

    well geo, i havent been to anything out of country online but just judging by comments on youtube, id say we are the most dumbassic attrocious people on the planet lol.
    I went to a flu treatment video and thier was a nurse introducing people to eat chicken soup if they had the flu and she had like 8 or 9 comments of people heckling her badly lol. If thats a worldwide phenomenon I wonder how we made it out of the stone age.

    Moreover, its Americans that are the worst, most negative people anywhere.. slaves to the negativity they are brainwashed with by television.

    This just sounds like a scam.

    Exactly, some people are so negative! It is a growing trend and we hope that in the future things will only get better!

    haha

    MIT knows everything.

    Does M.I.T. know about this?

  11. efisgpr says:

    exactly! accreditation = validation.
    a degree when they’re accredited = a valid degree.
    valid = viable

  12. unnaturaltragedy says:

    Interesting idea. Would be more valuable if/when they get accredited.

  13. Smartassawhip says:

    This is cool.

    Student groups get a TA for logistics & to gate keep for volunteer teachers. The U. “has no obligation to monitor Communication Services” (forums). Student privacy? “by posting… you are granting… the rights to: copy, distribute, transmit… your Submission; and to publish your name.” So classrooms are not an official activity, students have no privacy and faculty are not present. You get proprietary exams administered at testing centers for a fee. How is this open? Free? A university?

    U ALL GO TO ED-NET.,ther u could study for free. of course u dont get not diploma and nothing but u dont need it .u make u own diploma and certificate or bachelor or doctor afeter u finish u courses ,then if they dont belive that u got skills and education ask them to give u a test,u will be hired on the spot .

    I agree man, so ridiculous. and he said each exam is between 10 and $100
    let’s take the mid range 55 * 32 courses for a degree(assuming one exam per course) = $1760 only income of 2 years for someone in india. Let alone who the fuck is providing internet access. I guess he expects them to not eat while they go to school, fraud.

    now the brick and mortar colleges will one day be a thing of the past.

  18. pantadon says:

    Tuition free, oh yeah, except for admission and a “test fee”.

  19. spinelle says:

    I hope this isn’t a scam.
