It's a great idea. However, until they become accredited here in the US, the education is pointless. I talked with the head of transfers at my university, and was told they wouldn't even accept these classes for credit. Also, I don't know how many establish companies would take you seriously if your resume education listed a Bachelors from The University of the People.

Might be fine outside the US, but it has some BIG hurdles to jump here!

Why do education and accredidation have to go together? I'd much rather learn on my own (through these online courses), then take a one-month intensive series of accredited projects and tests (a bit like a Google interview) to get a diploma.
