    I had a chance to do some research on these guys this past summer and it's pretty cool stuff. The TECHbooks (see what they did there...) are basically super intuitive tablets filled over 160,000 leveled lessons - all of which are aligned to Common Core State Standards (if you're in to that, as 45/50 states are). Combine them with a Discovery Streaming license and you get over 100,000 multimedia assets which are downloadable & accessible from anywhere. I wouldn't necessarily call it "transformative" just yet, but it presents a compelling case for digital in the print vs. digital debate.

    The notion of tens of millions of students starting to take common core exams online vs paper and pencil raises questions about the comparability of results.

  • When this happens -- be it in 10 years or 20 -- we will see a structural disintegration in the academy akin to that in newspapers now. The typical 2030 faculty will likely be a collection of adjuncts alone in their apartments, using recycled syllabuses and administering multiple-choice tests from afar.

      I think this vision is at its core flawed.
  • But within the next 40 years, the majority of brick-and-mortar universities will probably find partnerships with other kinds of services, or close their doors.

      I seriously doubt colleges and universities are going to fall by the wayside into cyberspace. The article is focusing on the cost of education at these institutions instead of the quality of education. Yes, more students will have access to higher ed. degrees because they are more affordable, but setting out on your own at eighteen years of age, whether it be going to college or entering the workforce, is a long-held tradition in society. Students at universities aren't just learning about academics, they're learning about social dynamics as well. Based on my personal experience, I probably learned more about why and how people, groups, teams, and large organizations operate and interact (especially in informal settings) than I did about Milton's 15th century Morte D'Arthur. If the author is proposing that MOST high school graduates stay home for an additional two to four years before entering the real world, I think it would create a whole new set of rammifications that would negatively impact our society as a whole.

    This article talks about online-learning and the ways it may change the college experience. While I agree that new technology is affecting the way our courses are run, I don't see it leading to the complete shut down of Universities. While it is wonderful that people have access to courses and resources that they may not otherwise have, I believe that there will always be a need for face-to-face interactions that one can only get from a University setting.

    Over 7,000 students in Miami-Dade County Public Schools are enrolled in virtual classrooms, or e-learning labs. Core subjects are taken on computers, and instead of a teacher, there is a "facilitator" in the room who makes sure the students are actually doing their work. The facilitator also gives tech help.
