Create an accredited K through Doctorate internet University of the United States of America, on which all citizens can learn and recieve credit for testing on any subject they like, at any time, for free. Over the next few years, offer traditional classroom teachers a bonus for recording all lecture material and posting it to this website until every subject has 1000's of hours of detailed video, created by accredited professors, with students ranking the best content. Credit gained through passing online tests at this University should be accepted as equivalent, to any other university, but will continue to have a large social stigma for generations, as people will still favor more "prestigious" or "traditional" degrees. It should cost two to three times as much to build as a traditional university, but handle a virtually infinite number of students, lowering the total cost of education substantially, while providing much more flexibillity, and up to date (patched) information for students. If we can't compete in the international marketplace with a tool like this... We don't deserve to compete.
