The times of Ivy League students bragging about being Ivy League students are over. Now everybody can be an Ivy League student for free. Well, sort of… Stanford University has launched “Udacity”, an online educational platform that is making waves all over the world. Hundreds of thousands worldwide eager to learn how to create a search engine or robotic cars are joining this online program and even taking the exams. Stanford University is not alone in this trend. Harvard, M.I.T., Berkeley, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan announced that they are working on similar projects. The truth is none of these schools will grant a degree for free. You need to pay real money for that, but at least they’re sharing their knowledge with the rest of the world.
