The $100 degree: is this the future of education?
)
June 16th, 2012
I’ve been thinking a lot about traditional higher education lately, especially the skyrocketing costs and student debt. The internet makes information practically free to distribute, so why is education getting more expensive?
Now consider sites like Udacity or Coursera where they let you take classes for free from some of the best instructors in the world. Why would you pay to take a class from a mediocre professor, when you could get world-class instruction for free?
I just read this interview, this forbes article and recently watched this video of Clayton Christensen and think there is about to be a big disruption in higher education.
What do you think?
