Once students finish the courses, they can pay $400 for college credit, which can be transferred to any institution that accepts Arizona State credits.Maria Anguiano, the executive vice president of Arizona State's Learning Enterprise, said in an email that the university aims to make education accessible to"as many learners as possible.
YouTube wants to improve on the experience for learners on the platform without"breaking the magic" of informal YouTube education content, Kurtz said. "Crash Course is so incredibly talented at compelling storytelling and teaching through ideas that can really bring to life concepts for students," Kurtz said."ASU has the rigor of their expertise and pedagogy. And then YouTube has this platform of reach and engagement. I think that combination of these three entities feels like it is potentially a new approach to higher education that I hope will inspire a lot of other people.
