\nExcerpt (emphasis DSC<\/span>):<\/em>
\nRecent events in higher education suggest a new trend\u00a0\u2014 earning degrees by the course from multiple providers. Are we looking at the iTunes model of unbundled higher ed?<\/strong><\/span> Call it alt-HE.<\/li>\n
\nExcerpt:<\/em>
\nOnce you see this pattern\u2014a new story rearranging people\u2019s sense of the possible, with the incumbents the last to know\u2014you see it everywhere. First, the people running the old system don\u2019t notice the change. When they do, they assume it\u2019s minor. Then that it\u2019s a niche. Then a fad. And by the time they understand that the world has actually changed, they\u2019ve squandered most of the time they had to adapt.
\n.<\/span>
\nIt\u2019s been interesting watching this unfold in music, books, newspapers, TV, but nothing has ever been as interesting to me as watching it happen in my own backyard. Higher education is now being disrupted; our MP3 is the massive open online course (or MOOC), and our Napster is Udacity, the education startup.
\n…
\nBut who faces that choice? Are we to imagine an 18 year old who can set aside $250K and 4 years, but who would have a hard time choosing between a residential college and a series of MOOCs? Elite high school students will not be abandoning elite colleges any time soon; the issue isn\u2019t what education of \u201cthe very best sort\u201d looks like, but what the whole system looks like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
