Somebody mentioned on twitter that OSU were going into partnership with BitDegree, was that true?
I don't think so. OSU is so much better than BitDegree, which to me is just a glorified Udemy. Anyone can post a course on there, and I don't think it has any really serious backing.
OSU, on the other hand, are very involved with both the education and tech sectors, Check out twitter and see how many different conferences these guys are attending.
Here's their twitter channel.
https://twitter.com/OpenSource_UniThis ICO is a great long term investment in my mind. I chatted to someone from Somalia a week or two ago, and he said that, whilst internet is not (generally) a problem in his home country, at least in the bigger towns, , the education system is terrible. So why study there if you can get everything you need online with Open Source University?
As an educator myself, this project makes a lot of sense. It also makes me happy. Everyone should have access to quality education.
Check out the review on ICO Bench. A very impressive 4.3 rating.
Cheers for that. Usual Twitter misinformation. I should stop using it.
