Is online education finally going to become a viable option for students?

43 sec read

Online education has always been one of those things that has the potential to be revolutionary but has never been able to meet that potential for a number of reasons. However, Hillary Clinton is working on a $350 billion plan with companies and other organizations in Silicon Valley that could finally make online education a viable option for American students, and she’s not the only politician with that kind of plan. 

Online education could be taking a major leap forward on its road to legitimacy. Hillary Clinton is directly courting Silicon Valley in her $350 billion scheme to overhaul higher education, in a plan that may finally bridge the gap between Internet-channeled coursework and accredited higher education. Clinton’s campaign, which provided the major tenets to news outlets, has the overarching goal to reduce student debt and lower the cost of education. Reportedly, one tactic would urge colleges to let students fulfill some requirements with less-expensive streaming classes and other digital initiatives. Sebastian Thrun, the founder of online education provider Udacity, consulted on the plan. The idea seems to be bipartisan. Clinton competitor, Senator Marco Rubio, has his own plans for education reform, which includes a proposal for overhauling the accreditation process by including “low-cost, innovative providers.”

  1. Obviously, if fascism powers on side of Sebastian Thrun/Gabriele Scheler attempt to go after Candidates to seek for support on their fascism crimes, they could creat imbalance situation to influence among political rivals in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election; However, any Candidate in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Campaign who attempt to take advantage of such situation during this war against fascism crimes would be ashamed and despised by the whole society under public scrutiny; if fascism powers on side of Sebastian Thrun//Gabriele Scheler intend to disrupt 2016 U.S. Presidential Election with Sebastian Thrun/Gabriele Scheler’s case, such attempts should be material for serious investigation by U.S. Judicial Authorities in light of public attention, so that those fascists on side of Sebastian Thrun/Gabriele Scheler/ ZZZ/YYY/VVV / Angela Merkel, etc. would have no chance to influence or manipulate the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election;

    ___By the way, what are the real identities of ZZZ/YYY/VVV (from Santa Clara DA? or from FBI?, etc.)? They are the reason why miscarriage of justice is going on; Can anybody here for sake of our own goodness help us know who they are? I have serious questions to ask them;

  2. ___Would anyone or any organization like to associate himself/herslef/itself with fascism crimes?

    Would anyone like to be educated by someone who’s misbehavior has brought into our lives anti-humanity crimes which are fascism by nature and which had endangered human lives? Would anyone like to be living in a society under the jurisdiction of some malicious and cowardice officers (namely ZZZ/YYY/VVV, they must have power of jurisdiction over civilians of Santa Clara county) who hided their identities from us while colluding with those fascists to cover up their fascism crimes and at the same time retaliate on victims?
    ______________________

    Udacity as referred in this article, its cofounder Sebastian Thrun had involved into a decade long criminal case which is fascism by nature and which had endangered human lives, starting from a simple campus atrocity case with clear evidence and serious police investigation __[Stanford police case number: IR #04-111-0335; Victim: Peter Cao; Criminal Suspect: Gabriele Scheler]__http://alturlDOTcom/pa672 (replace DOT with . for the right web address)__attention to the 7 photo evidence;

    But how could such a simple campus atrocity case turn into a series of fascism crimes for over a decade long which got more and more innocent people involved?___That’s because miscarriage of justice (by cowardice hidden judicial officers ZZZ/YYY/VVV from Santa Clara DA? or from FBI?, etc.) is going on; fascism prevails; Justice has not been done;
    ______________________

    ___Such fascism crimes have to be disciplined by laws and such fascists like Gabriele Scheler/Sebastian Thrun/ZZZ/YYY/VVV and the likes have to be brought to justice; they can’t escape from it;
