(+) Yeah! (+)

is specifically for Web Development degrees, to have course content that is outdated?

This online university does not require the use of textbooks, so it saves money for the students. The course content is generally hyperlinks to various websites that have tutorials or learnings that teach you on any given subject. An example would be an Adobe Photoshop class, and the course content links to the Adobe help document/manual for Photoshop, which gives very dry "this is how you do this" instructions. There would also be other links to various online tutorials from independent web sites.

Often, I find that in 2017/2018, there are broken links that clearly would have linked to an article published sometimes 5+ years ago, which may or may not still be valid to the course material had they site not been taken down because it's old.

On one hand, I'm saving money by not buying text books. On the other hand, I'm paying tuition to basically be taught by various independent online sites that I could probably find on a google search. That said, I'm really paying money just to have a piece of paper that says I have a degree at the end of it.

So that said- is it acceptable to have these online programs with non updated content?

Are you issued/expected to buy/rent textbooks that are 5+ years old? (Genuine question)
