Leland,
It will be interesting to follow increased access opportunities to
online education/accredited etc. in competition to brick n' mortar
institutions.
From a business perspective, and having in the past sent a whole bunch
of folks off for vocational workshops, and seen that it was paid for, I
have always closely monitored the cost:benefit ratio with it in mind
that if the increased knowledge does not increase the wage earning
capacity of the individual, let alone benefit the organization paying
for the education, that it is a total waste not only of money but of the
individual's time. The downside is that rarely, in 99% of my experience,
does the cost or the knowledge directly accrue back to the organization
that pays for it. Things change too quickly in business and people move
on to other destinations. This makes it difficult when you have business
partners who say, "But what are we getting out of this?" My conclusion
was to hell with what do we get, the question should be, "What do we give?"
