What an amazing leap in the right direction. I agree with Nick, reaching young people from developing countries should be the top priority. But blokes like me, who are and perhaps always will be 25 credit short of their degree might be able to benefit from this new system as well. Inspiring post Julie! yes, we have to start somewhere.

I share your concerns, but I think it's a huge step in the right direction. I would add that educating children, especially in developing (or majority world, or whatever we want to call them) countries, should be one of the world's top priorities. Assuming we don't screw everything up even sooner than expected, the children are the future in many senses of the word. Seems to me this links in to the earlier Social Media post. A good example of how technology can be used (hopefully) to improve the world. Great piece, Julie. I share your concerns, but I think it’s a huge step in the right direction.
