    With today's global competition, there is increasing concern about the nature and quality of higher education. One set of concerns focuses on higher education's purpose - should it be practical and graduate well equipped students to supply a competitive workforce? Or, should it rather explore what some critics label "romantic" notions of a liberal education with broad ideas and values to prepare students for democratic citizenship? The authors argue that for students to be successful in today's global economy, higher education must recognize and emphasize that practical and liberal education are tightly coupled, and that students' academic, developmental, interpersonal and experiential lives are entwined. Colleges must move from traditional education to what we term transformational learning.

  • democratize learning
  • although the content is free now, it’s unlikely that it will remain that way for long.
  • schools plan to make a profit
  • omputer-aided instruction will actually widen the gap between the financially and educationally privileged and everyone else, instead of close it.
  •  only 35% of households earning less than $25,000 have broadband access to the Internet, compared with 94% of households with income in excess of $100,000. 
  • only half of black and Latino homes have Internet connections at all, compared with almost 65% of white households.
  • , many blacks and Latinos primarily use their cell phones to access the Internet, a much more expensive and less-than-ideal method for taking part in online education.
  • If we really want to democratize education, finding creative ways to realistically open up colleges to different communities will do more to help than a model that, despite its stated intentions, is more beneficial for students who are already wealthy, academically prepared and highly motivated.

  • greater motivation to take the perspective of others
  • less often evaluated the University’s emphasis on diversity as producing divisiveness between groups
  • enjoyed learning about the experiences and perspectives of other groups more than the control students
  • participants were more interested in politics and also had participated more frequently in campus political activities.
  • The discrepancy that racial and ethnic diversity on college campuses offers students for personal development and preparation for citizenship in an increasingly multicultural society depends on actual experience that students have with diverse peers.

    This article describes some of the potential benefits of diversity in education. In my post I suggest that online education provides a unique means of increasing diversity which comes with the benefits described in this article.

  • Mr. Reshef sees his project as a way to use the Internet to bring higher education to poor students around the world.
  • The university is not accredited, and it offers programs only in business administration and computer science. But in June, it got two votes of confidence: New York University announced a partnership under which unusually promising but needy University of the People students might be able to enroll at N.Y.U.’s Abu Dhabi campus and receive financial aid, and Hewlett-Packard announced an internship program, saying it believed strongly “in the work UoPeople is doing to democratize higher education.”
