    "I am ecstatic that one of my articles has been made officially free-to-access. I am excited that a publisher is willing to promote my article that challenges much of mainstream academic publishing.

Online Skills Are Hot, But Will They Land You a Job? - WSJ - 1 views

  •  
    " Course providers like Udemy and Lynda.com, along with coding boot camps and massive open online courses (MOOCs) such as edX and Coursera, promise to refresh workers' skills or help them acquire expertise they didn't get in college.

More importantly, it implies that old-fashioned virtues - things like caring about people - simply can't compare in importance to modern values like scale."
