For online education to be effective and accepted by employers, the grading has to be real. I worked my bottom off for my MBA. Others in my “class,” who put little or no work in, got the same A I did. The difference was, I really wanted to learn something. I did practically every homework problem, assigned or not. The educations we got were unequal, but the grades were uniformly high. Consequently, I don’t think potential employers believed there was any value in my degree.
I’m sure Goody would approve of this new direction in higher ed.

this is true in college and graduate courses whether on line or in the classroom. One of the reasons everyone is assigned to a group for group grades. There is no such thing as a bad grade anymore.
at present online degrees are a joke as a replacement for a traditional degree.
Online universities are just a student loan sucker grab.
