Open Education for a Global Economy - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • ALISON provides free online interactive education to help people acquire basic workplace skills.
  • Right now, a lot of free education is thrown online without a clear sense of how it will help people prepare themselves for employment.
  • The decision to make everything on ALISON free remains the key factor that distinguishes the site from others of its type, and makes it globally valuable.

Next: An Internet Revolution in Higher Education - BusinessWeek - 0 views

  • The Harvards of the world won't go away. They will continue to be the high-fidelity players
    • Alexandre Enkerli
       
      Is this meant to reassure those who are scared by the prospects?
  • Even though technologies emerged that might foster new models of higher education, the neat accreditation ecosystem locked out innovative competitors.
    • Alexandre Enkerli
       
      Isn't this a summary of what some of us have to go through? It's kind of a role-conflict at the organizational level. The (manifest) function of university education has shifted away from learning toward giving credit for a set of skills. More than universities being vocational schools, it's about universities focusing on evaluation. Are there still learning institutions, out there?
  • Just as the Internet has helped blow down the doors of the music industry, newspapers, and the travel-agent business, it will eventually do the same to higher education.
    • Alexandre Enkerli
       
      This may be too big a leap, for a number of people. But it has the advantage of making the problem visible. In fact, in contexts through which "information" and "education" are associated with democracy, what has been happening to newspapers is more likely to convince university people that there might be a problem than anything about the music industry. Especially if we think about the obsession with "intellectual property" which seeped into university contexts and is only being challenged now.

  • cheap, easy, and good-enough degree
    • Alexandre Enkerli
       
      Sounds like a specialized version of the so-called "80-20 rule." And it's one which sounds very unconvincing for many people in the Ivory Tower. In a way, it's like talking about having "a little bit of grace."

Behavior Expert Seizes Chance to Lead an Ambitious Experiment in Higher Education - Peo... - 1 views

  • The current university system is increasingly out of touch with student needs, and the entrenched players in an industry will always be too married to the old way of thinking to disrupt themselves - it takes outsiders to make it happen.
  • "too many legacy systems" obstruct reforms
