That’s pretty steep for European standards, not sure what the value proposition is for us.. but I guess one could use it to get credits and a study visa to graduate? Idk.
I don't think European students are the market for this (maybe British students, now that they're copying USian approaches to funding) because your market can't be privatized and bound to platforms. At least as far as I can tell. State unis and smaller private LA colleges in the US have ceded space that's been privatized like this (the "State" in "ASU" is a nice example of this if you know the history of ASUonline), and the credit/FTE situation is dire in light of the demographic challenges to universities right now. Somebody in another comment says "lectures are cheap" and no, my dude, they aren't, not for provosts weighing FTEs against a chancellor telling them to maintain student/fac ratios at 2010 levels. Hank Green ain't getting retrenched.
