Bill Gates Predicts Technology Will Make 'Place-Based' Colleges Less Important in 5 Yea... - 0 views

  • On one end will be (and maybe already are) the super-rich who can afford to send their offspring to pricey colleges and universities with a golden future virtually assured even if they're borderline morons. On the other extreme, just above the exploited immigrant classes, will be the products of online schools destined for permanent underclass status.
  • Well designed online courses do not simply push out information to self-motivated learners. Well designed courses include collaboration, formative & summative assessment, and absolutely require faculty participation. To suggest you could pull that off for $2000 for a four year degree is amusing.
  • Real teaching is done in small groups, or 1:1 like Oxford. The rest is compromise with resources.

  • I have great faith in online education when it's well designed and well executed. Any class with design and instruction that can be sold for a price that would fit into a $2000 per year curriculum will not qualify on either count.
  • place-based activiy in that college thing will be five times less important than it is today

Tame The Web, re: Flipboard for iPad - 2 views

  • Not only can individuals have a social magazine constantly updating at their fingertips, but groups could someday have tailor made versions of Flipboard for their own content – think a class of students or a certain community. Then, add in channels of content supplied by libraries – local info, user-generated digital collections and news.
