Has college for your kid become uncertain? A startling new book is going to scare the socks off a lot of college administrators. On the other hand, that same book offers some hope of a joyful liberation one day soon for students who have been bled white by college and university tuition excess. The book is "The End of College," with the subtitle "Creating The Future of Learning and The University of Everywhere." If author Kevin Carey is correct, his University of Everywhere will soon separate students from today's narrow, one-campus learning and let them study electronically in several colleges at a time. One effective star professor will simultaneously teach 50,000 students scattered around the world. That in turn could cut the cost of college to almost nothing. But won't that sacrifice some of the positive aspects of classrooms? Don't students in a classroom help teach each other?/Bill Hall, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
