Some digital bread crumbs to help me get back later to information about the (now defunct) ArsDigita University, an experiment by Philip Greenspun in free computer science education. The alumni seem to be believers, though it fell victim to lack of continued funding and legal disputes among the founders. Note this was not a distance education program: you had to go to Cambridge for a year. But it is certainly a different model than the traditional pay-to-learn one, and one i'd therefore like to understand better.
