  Khan TED Institute

A New Model For College?
https://www.forbes.com/sites/marybethgas...r-college/

Quote:ETS, Khan Academy, and TED are coming together to launch a new higher education entity – the Khan TED Institute. This venture, which includes employer partners Microsoft, Google, Accenture, Bain, McKinsey, and Replit, is designed to build on the surge in generative AI usage. The team behind the Institute is focused on “rethinking college from the ground up: rigorous academic foundations, applied AI skills, and durable human skills, all built around demonstrated competency, not seat time.” And, they aim to do all of this in an accessible manner – the cost for students will be less than $10,000.

Given that we've heard about this sort of thing for a while now, I can't help but be reminded of Betteridge's Law of Headlines.

  UoP/IBM Cybersecurity Credential - where can I show that it's 12 ACE college credits?
Posted by: kevinmane - 04-14-2026, 11:14 AM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (3)

So I just finished doing the Cybersecurity 12-credit course through IBM via University of the People.

How do I get this onto my ACE Transcript? Or better asked: How can I show someone that this course is worth 12 ACE-recommended college credits? Like what document can I grab and have be sent over to either a school or employer to show it's worth ACE-recommended college credits?

  Best Degree Plan Help
Posted by: burbuja0512 - 04-13-2026, 02:19 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (2)

Hi all,

I have my very old COSC degree and now my DD is in high school wanting to start testing out!   I have been scouring the site and trying to get caught up and wondering the best place to get started.   

TESU is looking like a good option so far.  Where are the latest degree plans or can someone point me in the direction of the MOST RECENT degree plans that would be good for my DD to use as a starter template.   I'm getting confused because a lot that are on the site are old like my knowledge, so I'm hoping that someone can give me a few links of the newer and more up to date templates. Happy to look at options that aren't TESU if you have good ones too!

Regarding what type of degree we are looking for... not entirely sure yet and we are still weighing all of our options.     I used to be so good at figuring out degree plans and now I just feel lost!!!!  Thanks for your help.

  Angelo State University MA in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling
Posted by: staceydiane - 04-13-2026, 01:25 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (11)

I got accepted to this program and I'm starting in June.  I'm really excited (and nervous) about it.  Because of my TESU GPA (3.5) Angelo State gave me the Distinguished Graduate Scholarship ($2000 for the year) which gives me an in-state tuition waiver.  

I spent months researching graduate programs. (I overthink EVERYTHING.)  I don't think I want to end up an LPC, but Angelo State has an LPC bridge program should I change my mind.  Right now my career goal is working in human services, but addictions counseling also interests me, so I might go for that later.

In the Summer Semester, I'm taking Theories of Counseling and Social and Cultural Influences.

  Free credit-bearing certificates in Criminal Justice/Criminology?
Posted by: EliEverIsAHero - 04-12-2026, 08:48 PM - Forum: Free Courses and Certificates and Good Deals - Replies (1)

I am currently working in a Criminal Justice-related role and feel like I could benefit from formal education in the field as job-related training. 

Bonus points if the focus is on Investigation/Investigative Analysis (many decades ago my dream job was to be a Private Investigator; that may or may not ever happen at some point in my life - it probably won't, but a certificate that involves related training would be deeply appealing). 

Can anyone suggest free certificates, ideally credit-bearing, in this field?

  Determining countability of a journal toward a PhD by Published Work
Posted by: EliEverIsAHero - 04-12-2026, 06:07 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (11)

How does one determine if a journal will be seen as credible for the purposes of a future/potential PhD by Published Work?

Should one, for example, be suspicious of newer journals? Low-impact journals? Solely-online journals? Policy/practitioner-oriented journals versus more stringently academic ones? Would a potential doctoral thesis committee refuse to count an article/paper in some of these types of publication?

  Thoughts on this op-ed in Chronicle of Higher Education?
Posted by: EliEverIsAHero - 04-11-2026, 06:57 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (6)

The author is quite scathing toward what he argues is the "Business School-ification" of the Humanities.

  TEFL/TESOL abroad at university or adult ed level: still doable without a CELTA?
Posted by: EliEverIsAHero - 04-11-2026, 08:53 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

Many years ago, when Fred Flintstone was still alive, I did 2 TEFL/TESOL certificates. These have served me well for teaching English to foreigners, adults and children online, but when looking at the market for physical classroom teachers, it's very difficult to avoid postings for teaching children: which, speaking for myself, I don't feel particularly well-calibrated to do; classroom management is more difficult, for one thing, versus adults who want to be there, are eagerly pursuing a language requirement to finish a Bachelor's or certification, or have a professional interest in learning. 

The market for teaching adults (ESL) however, is dominated by requirements for a CELTA/DELTA. Is it still feasible to teach ESL to adults with a TEFL/TESOL certificate, or is it necessary to bite the bullet and spring for a CELTA, even though that seems like overkill?
