Kim, J. (2011) What I learned about Capella U, Inside Higher Education, February 1
Kim, J. (2011) My hopes for Capella U, Inside Higher Education, February 2
These two short blogs are based on an interview between Joshua Kim and Mike Buttry, VP Corporate Communications and Keith Koch, VP Next Generation Learning at Capella University.
Capella University is a fully online, for-profit university with 38,000 students. It operates mainly at the graduate level.
The two blogs by Joshua generated a lot of interesting comments from readers, including from Canadians who have studied with Capella.
Whatever you think of for-profits, this interview was a welcome step in their opening up and addressing public criticisms.
