Change of topic - - - - This line of thought reminds me. Have you guys ever seen the EdX courses that you can take online? You don't get credit, but you can take a whole bunch of classes online for free from brand name universities.

I -really- like that. A lot. A lot a lot. It's awesome. I love it. I can see spending quite a lot of time there.
Here's my beef with college—If higher education is about learning, why shouldn't someone get credit for successfully completing courses there? Credit that can be applied toward an accredited degree? I can accept the argument that credit for learning outside of an academic environment can be difficult to verify, but edx appears by any measure to be an academic environment—one of higher quality than, oh, say, Embry Riddle WorldWide Online which comes in at $300 per credit hour.
Give me one solid reason—just a single, solid reason.
