ONLINE: the accelerating pace of change in higher education.

[A]s the revolution proceeds, it will weed out lots of really useless and even harmful “higher education.” When students can do much if not all of their learning online, choosing among competing programs and courses, the lock that lazy and/or politicized professors had on students who had no choice but to take what their college offered will be broken. Higher education will cost less in the future and much of the current junk will be swept away.

Which, I hope, will be the enduring legacy of this education revolution.
