Abstract
A perfect storm has been building within higher education. Numerous, powerful forces have been converging that either already are or soon will be impacting the way higher education is offered and experienced. This paper focuses on one of those forces – the increasing price tag of obtaining a degree within higher education. It will seek to show that what goes up…must come down. Some less expensive alternatives are already here today; but the most significant changes and market “corrections” appear to be right around the corner. That is, higher education is a bubble about to burst.
Sounds like a great article. Where can I find it once published?
Hello Joseph —
I was working on this project for my Future of Teaching & Learning class at Capella University, under Dr. Eric Wellington. I modifield it slightly and published it here on my blog to give interested/relevant folks in higher ed a heads-up — because, as you know, technology can be highly disruptive. I did not submit it anywhere else. Do you think I should? If so, any thoughts on which channel might be appropriate?
Thanks Joseph for your question/interest here,
Daniel
