higher education FHSU outsourcing

shared by Burks Oakley on 20 Jul 09 - Cached

It's the latest chapter in an evolving debate about the place of innovation in higher education. Is outsourcing teaching -- especially for huge and often poorly run introductory courses -- a way for colleges to catch up with other industries and rein in out-of-control costs? Or does it mean gutting what makes universities special?

  This is an interesting concept - to outsource the teaching of introductory courses.

It’s really forcing university professors to think about their teaching style and the pedagogical techniques that they use in the classroom.

It is growing! I saw a commercial a couple of years ago that really struck me. It depicted two kids in a very modern home in Japan with their mother mulling about doing house work. Instead of playing video games on the large flatscreen on the wall, they were engaged in a math course talking to the teacher in real time. I have to believe that it is very real model that will evolve and succeed as it is at USC. Great article, thanks!
