I'd hate to have my college credits killed by Google once they get bored of this.
Nothing about the title is correct "Learners begin by watching course content on the Study Hall YouTube channel, and if they're interested in formal coursework beyond the videos, they can sign-up to participate in full online courses at ASU led by the same award-winning faculty that teach all ASU courses," https://www.statepress.com/article/2023/01/asu-partners-with...

Yeah, that's a terrible title, this is an ASU and Crash Course initiative, the only thing YouTube is doing here is providing video hosting.
There 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…
Lecture and talk is cheap. Talking with a microphone to a wall of students even cheaper. Youtube is the cheapest.
Otoh, studio time, tools, materials. A vastly stronger sauce, but much more expensive.
I paid $6/unit ($12.50 in 2022 dollars) at my community college back in the day.
> There is a $25 fee if the learner elects to sign up and begin coursework, and an optional $400 fee to receive college credit for each course. Learners who register before March 7, 2023 will receive special scholarship pricing of $350 per course
Does this mean to watch targeter course videos it's 25$ but to receive any credits you must pay 400$ extra?
This seems ... Weird. Why not just find other videos targeted to your course work for free?
