Thanks David, I have been watching this closely.  We know that college costs
have gone from high to higher to absurd.  We saw Sebastian Thrun offer a
class in a format which is actually better than being present in the
classroom in several important ways, but without offering credentials for
the successful student.  Clearly there is something in-between, with huge
amounts of money to be made.  Someone should be offering online courses with
some form of credential or degree or means of verifying the student's skill
level.  

It is a great tragedy when perfectly good money goes unmade.
