]]> Comment on The University of the People by Josh http://jivatechnology.com/blog/2009/01/the-university-of-the-people/comment-page-1/#comment-17 Josh Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:33:52 +0000 http://jivatechnology.com/?p=198#comment-17 I am not sure if I understand you correctly so if I interpreted you wrong I apologize, but to say that MA students and volunteers as a virtual faculty is not thought out does not make sense to me. You failed to state that all the volunteers would be wither acting or retired college professors, and MA students already teach classes at accredited colleges. I believe that the UoP learning model is very similar to other accredited online colleges, the big difference comes from the Cost to enroll. It is frustrating as a student to see so many people already downplaying the importance of a program like this. With student loans well over $10000, I am not sure I am getting what I am paying as the interest on those loans will eventually make me owe mare than triple the original cost and I may very well be paying those loans off for the rest of my life. If we support a program like this, which seems to me to be legitimate, there is a chance that when my son is old enough, he may actually be able to have a truly free education. That is something that especially in these tough economic times gets me very excited about the possibilities of the future for my children. We have to start somewhere, and even though You state that there may be a business to be built aroud open education in the future, I say it is possible now, and it couldn't be more obvious than it is now with UoP. With a little more support and a little less criticism, that future you talk about could actually happen sooner than you think. Sincerely, Josh Thomas I am not sure if I understand you correctly so if I interpreted you wrong I apologize, but to say that MA students and volunteers as a virtual faculty is not thought out does not make sense to me.
