it's the periferal expenses that make the difference as to how well you do. computers, calculators, hands on lab equipment, tools and machinery, books for extended reading and the head space to study them.

i sure do like the idea of making college level courses available free any and every way they can be. what is now pbs started out doing that before there was an internet or even cable.

but there was always a limited range of courses and kinds of courses that were offered that way. and obviously any kind of class that requres any sort of lab can be a bit of a problem, unless the lab can be a piece of software that can run on your computer without the risk of crashing it.

anyway kudos for the concept
caveat being that there is no way for it to entirely
escape the mentioned built in limitations

Online college courses work better for some people than others. I'd honestly rather fork over the tuition and attend the class and hear the teacher lecture and all that jazz, but whatever works.
