You can get degrees not just from ICL but UofI and other legit organizations via Coursera. Essentially they are using the Coursera platform the way Uber runs on AWS. The diploma doesn’t say anything about his and you may have taken some or all of your courses online.

This is different from audacity etc where the courses are essentially from udacity.

I only learned this bc my gf worked for Coursera: I don’t know if that’s because they have some deliberate marketing strategy or just because I didn’t pay attention. As she doesn’t work there any more, I can say it makes me uncomfortable. But to be honest: in the long run why should the online experience inherently be worse?

It could be just chauvinism on my part but I feel my university education could not have been as good had it not been F2F
