Free Online Uni Courses

Some interesting issues here.

On the surface it seems the practical difference between the freely accessible content and a degree is the assessment.

An opportune time to ponder how tertiary study is assessed? How do presumptive grading curves fit into this.

Is there scope for 'assessment only' offerings - akin to (mainly TAFE level) providers that conduct RPL/RCC evaluations?
