In continuation of the discussion about the viability of online learning I suggest employers vote. I would like to know the opinion on this matter from business owners or managers who make decisions about hiring qualified employees.
Suppose a candidate for a vacancy comes to you for an interview. In his summary in the paragraph “Education” he listed completed online courses from popular providers (Coursera, edX, Udacity, Canvas.net, etc.). Or have a link to an online
Education Passport .
How do you perceive such a candidate?

Some details of the question.
The number of courses available online is growing very rapidly. And the quality is also increasing all the time. Providers report millions of undergraduate students. For some specialties, it is already possible to build a full-fledged curriculum similar to that of a traditional university (although practical classes are possible only for a limited number of subjects). Examples of alternative higher education programs
Software Development ,
Applied Mathematics ,
Accounting and
other training programs .
Suppose a candidate for a vacancy has completed 15-20 courses online for exactly the specialty you are looking for. Instead of a diploma, he shows you a link to his Education Passport, ie the history of his studies (for example, such an
Education Passport or Linkedin profile where courses are listed).
Will you take into account such an education?Choose the most accurate option for your opinion.
