Look at the Why Not Website. Now think of a college lecture hall. No difference really. Why not tap into all of this expert advice and hire professors of "Why Not U" to administer online degrees.<p>We could also tap into retired folks who are experts in fields who like to talk, to be online hosts. Those "students" who submit ideas and engage in online discussion could be rated as they are now. With a certain percentage of high ratings "lightbulbs"in a subject you would pass (or fail), or are allowed to submit a paper for peer review. (3-d Graphic interface version of Why not needed) A credit hour system could be implemented. After all- this is the Socratic method at its best. The MAN himself had a similar university out in the open in Greece.<p>

In some circles the distinction "WHYNOTGRAD"could mean something.Tuition could be a donation to your favorite charity.Modbeach OUT.

Tuition is a donation to charity, so who pays the professors ?

There are many colleges which have online courses already. What do you suggest which is different ?
