Sebastian Thrun Steps Down as Udacity's CEO
I wonder what is hidden behind the phrase "the college partnerships failed".<p>I took some great courses on Udacity, Coursera, and edX back in the days when they regularly offered amazing comprehensive college courses for free.<p>They do still offer free courses. However, it seems that the atmosphere of free accessible education is somehow lost, with the advent of the "specializations" and "nanodegrees" and the like. Or maybe I just got older and more cynical, I'm not sure.
