San Jose State Suspends Collaboration With Udacity

Posted by Soulskill on from the much-easier-to-stay-home-and-skip-class-when-you're-already-home dept.

New submitter ulatekh writes "San Jose State University is suspending a highly touted collaboration with online provider Udacity to offer low-cost, for-credit online courses after finding that more than half of the students failed to pass the classes. 'Preliminary results from a spring pilot project found student pass rates of 20% to 44% in remedial math, college-level algebra and elementary statistics courses. In a somewhat more promising outcome, 83% of students completed the classes.'"

    What comes to learning and education, I've found Microsoft Learning to be the place to go. They offer great amount of courses on subjects like Visual Studio, MTA training, MCSE: Server Infrastructure, MCSE: Data Platform, MCSA: Windows Server 2012, MCSA: SQL Server 2012, MCSD, MCITP, Office and SharePoint. It's definitely one of the top places to go if you want to learn valuable IT skills that workplaces appreciate greatly.
