I would guess that if degrees (as opposed to education) from UU will
be useful for "real life", the degrees will be granted by some
established distance-education university/institution or some ordinary
university where people take the exams.

But UU is not just about courses - in fact I would expect it to be
more about "pointers to info" and many other kinds of help and methods
of learning more than about courses.  In any case, now the two fields
(Esperanto and virtual worlds) have been created and will hopefully be
some kind of a test ground - I hope the interested people will find
the groups.

I hope that the what-is document clarifies this somewhat and shows
that deception is not the purpose.

In any case, thanks for the good criticisms.
