I don't want to sound negative but...
I wished that the JBS would not pursue the college credit courses project... I think it will be another boondoggel like the RWU going bust and to court...
Besides, I have heard that more and more schools (Even MIT) are putting their courses On-Line and for FREE!!!!

If you have not watched the five minute video on the future plans for American Opinion Foundation and the FreedomProject (FreedomProject.com) I'd suggest that as a base for where we're going and what we're doing. AOF is, of course, a separate legal entity, as a 501 (c)(3) must be, but has been carefully constructed to avoid the problems we experienced with RWU. Most of that was due to the behind-the-scenes manipulation of by-laws by one man who was allowed to become too powerful, controlling, and without enough visibility. Our first goals all center around public and online efforts to educate, both on a broad base with the general public, and without charge, then with a K-12 curriculum for home-schoolers, private schools, and supplemental education by parents of youth who attend public or other schools. There are some courses on line for about anything you'd like to study, and some are free. However, I've just earned an MBA in business admin. and did some careful study on that issue. There is no free college education with credentials or certification, particularly there is no free degree program that is accredited, thus accepted by the majority of employers, or other authorities. However, there are great online education systems, such as the largest university on earth (with full accreditation from all the official agencies) the University of Phoenix. We plan to do nearly all our education online for the forseeable future, other than the plans for the academy for those who want hands-on, realtime education toward leadership for their young people.
