#2Is this one step closer to Costco University? Will the “second year” be Google certs? I have so many questions but think this is a good step.

#3ASU is typically on the forefront of initiatives like this. They were the first major university to offer college credit for edX and Coursera courses as well. Unfortunately, I still think the cost for college credits is ridiculous and this is more expensive than going to community college or using something like Sophia.org

Higher education driven by commercial interest? Course lectures that include mandatory advertising? Only teaching vendor specific knowledge? All while squeezing the last cent out of students just like we do now with textbooks?

#9There is an absolutely vast amount to learn at university beyond that obtained by listening to a lecturer lecture. Sure, lecture are great, but they're one aspect of gaining knowledge about a particular topic. I personally think that for some skills you really have to struggle and try to solve difficult problems with them, and having a teacher of some variety you can interact with who points out your mistakes is just as, if not more, important as listening to lecture be delivered.

The good news is that once Google gets bored of this then any college credits earned should still be valid because the credits are backed by ASU. Google is only the delivery and distribution partner.
FTA: "This credit can then be used at any of the hundreds of institutions that accept credits from ASU."
