Content: I am not convinced that traditional brick-and-mortar institutions deliver a better curriculum compared to distance programs. Nathan Gustafson, CTO & Founder of Manage My Co-Op
Manage My Co-Op is a software company which creates tools for buying clubs and cooperatives to facilitate customer ordering, administration, and customer service. It is mobile friendly and offers flexible fee options for group buys of various types of products which are typically bought in bulk. While I am unsure if this is true, I generally assume that an online degree is going to be more specific and lack much of the liberal arts education available at a traditional campus. Lauren Karasek, Executive Director of Social Media at Spark Growth
Spark Growth is a marketing firm which helps businesses create engaging websites, email campaigns, social media strategies, and other facets of a successful digital presence. The internet is removing geographic boundaries to commerce and interpersonal relationships, and it will certainly impact education as well. Trevor Leb, Chief Marketing Officer of BoardVitals, Inc.
BoardVitals, Inc. is a comprehensive training resource for online medical and healthcare certifications, providing study materials for exams and continuing education across more than 50 specialty areas. I’m a bit skeptical of online degrees as a candidate’s only form of education largely because the market hasn’t validated online programs to be equivalent to traditional campus-based programs. Misha Leybovich, CEO at Flippy (made by Meograph)
Flippy is an entertainment app with a vast library of material to create personalized parodies of famous YouTube clips, music videos, and more. Our perspective on alternatives to traditional campus-based education is that we are open to those candidates, but generally find that they need to have a fair amount of not-just-homework experience to be able to contribute.
