It’s all but a secret these days that online education has developed itself into a hot market as founders, developers and investors get attracted to the vertical and now take it more serious than some 2 years ago. What many people have criticized so far was a reluctance from most of the top universities to have serious ambitions and invest in innovative online programs both paid and free.  Whether it is going to be $6, $16, $60 million or a completely different number, in the end what really matters is that access to quality courses and teaching has finally started to become a reality for the masses.
