Testimonials

But, really, all the old school online university efforts, like University of Phoenix, did was to take the traditional college model and move it online. True disruptive innovation is ... about embracing some spect of that new medium to offer something in a different way that really wasn't possible prior to that. StraighterLine offers online college classes, but it totally disrupts the traditional business model of university learning.
