    An interesting story that describes the changing face of college in America and the global community.  Begins with a very interesting scenario about a young girl taking an on-line physics course in Pakistan and the way her on-line global "classmates" helped her to finish the course after it was blocked by her government.

    New technology has allowed students to take MOOCs, which are massive open online courses, for college credit. However, colleges have to make sure that students taking the course away from campus and laptops are not cheating on the final exam. To do this they developed software that colleges can use to monitor students through webcams, screen sharing, and high-speed Internet connections. They can also check out their photo IDs, signatures, and typing styles.

    Colleges like Yale and MIT are sharing their courses with "open courseware" - this is a very important part of sharing and how things are changing. People can literally attend colleges without paying (of course, they don't get the "credit." But this is part of building a personal learing network and how people are connecting online like never before.

    Yale is joining the open bandwagon and now has some more open courses including courses on "The American Novel Since 1945" "introduction to Greek History, Civil War History, France history since 1871, Milton, physics and engineering. There are great college level resources becoming available. There are also many audio books and online podcasts here.

    Technology is reshaping college admissions. Course-management systems are making it possible to detect students in academic trouble before it gets too deep. And development offices are creating social networks that energize alumni giving. But not every high-tech strategy pays off for colleges.

  • Facebook is a social networking website launched in February 2004 that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.,[1] with more than 500 million[5] active users in July 2010, which is about one person for every fourteen in the world.[6][N 1] Users can add people as friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves.
  • Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[7] The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over.
  • A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked Facebook as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users, followed by MySpace.[16] Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade 'best-of' list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?"
