They want to help me find a job - if I let them. I can live with that.
if you're hiring, you can get alot more data about the udacity student you're hiring than you can about the U Phoenix student, or the Big State U student
with U Phoenix student, or the Big State U, you get a list of classes taken and a letter grade earned
with Udacity you could get that, plus a detailed click history, do they do things early? do they wait until the last minute for everything? do they stick to a set schedule? do they comment in class forums?
there is alot more data that can be mined to predict successful hires
would you be open to opting in to let companies sift through that data?
