$2100 for an online course titled "Beauty & Joy of Computing"? And the government is investigating the University of Phoenix??
To be honest, I'm not sure where the online courses trend is headed and what benefits it provides for students or the universities. Several Stanford professors I've talked about this with think it's contradictory to what university education is supposed to be about (these were mostly research-oriented engineering professors -- maybe their view isn't universal). I guess we'll see where things settle over the next few years.
