Why Charter Oak State College is better than Thomas Edison State College

This website was last updated in 2005! Bain4weeks was last updated in 2008. Do you know how many changes have happened since then? If you're so opposed to reading textbooks, Saylor has a partnership with TESC to create credit-aligned courses.

The information and the concepts are still the same. I don't see why it being from 2005 makes any difference. Whether it's the year 2005, 2015, or 2250, people want information the easiest and quickest ways possible. Does that really have to be pointed out? The core message he (and myself) are making is that people want to avoid reading entire tomes for good reason. That has never changed.

25 years ago you'd need to go to a library, find a book, search through it to find an answer, now you can get any answer by a quick and simple google search from home. That's what people want - and you seem to be pushing in the other direction. You just can't argue that most students prefer to read textbooks over short, concise, pamphlets. That's why websites like sparknotes, and cliffnotes exist to begin with.

Saylor Academy's not a bad option but again - the subjects that they have for TECEP will not complete fully complete a degree like for business . Most people want to gravitate away from courses, and want to take exams in the least amount of time possible i.e. reading a pamphlet, doing some practice exams, and being done with it. The Saylor Academy's not bad on that end, but they are more immersive and comprehensive than the type of student this plan is geared towards which is for getting a regionally accredited piece of paper for the "best bang for buck." Yes, the "per credit" option is the cheapest, but it's harder and more involved as a result.
