I think that at some point, perhaps Harvard or MIT will but their MOOC content
available for credit. Pay a small fee for a proctor service. Essentially free
education for the masses. They have already created the content.

The fascinating thing is that many colleges & universities are not willing to
cut a break on virtual learning. Full boat or go home.

As a teenager I would have given zero fucks to putting any actual effort
into online-only classes. I needed the presence. I definitely would not
have met my wife.
I feel bad for everyone that's enrolled now being forced go full virtual
when one of the major points of going to college in person is to get the
whole college experience. Many won't excel in virtual education and
self-learning. Between college and K-12 going virtual, we're looking at
a whole generation that's going to be shorted on their education.
