Are there enough people who want to actually learn (vs get a certificate) to make this a viable business? If there’s even a small market, and it catches on, it might eventually eat the university system’s whole lunch.https://twitter.com/St_Rev/status/954490390823960576 …

Tutor + small group of motivated students was the actual university model until mid-20th C, and I suspect it’s by far the best. I agree few people can learn on their own.

Apprenticeship is probably the most effective way to learn, but usually you can only take on a dozen students max. That doesn’t work economically if you have to pay a bunch of administrators… but could if you don’t.

I agree to the extent that just reading on something I rarely succeed in real learning. However when I have a task to do, I can learn what I need reading on my own. In '96 I taught myself RDBMS design, learning normalization of data.
