This does seem like an opportunity to end centralized education under the control of the government. Go digital. Go School Choice. Homeschool. There are options out there that don’t involve leftwing unions.

This technology will likely DISRUPT the standard college education system that we have with its Five figures per semester tuition.

Because of the increasing tuition debt problems facing this country, Colleges will now be increasingly offering courses ONLINE as an alternative and tuition will DROP.

There is a huge market for this.

I agree. The cost of tuition and the resulting student debt is totally out of control. There needs to be an affordable alternative and the web is certainly an option.

There’s already so much educational stuff on you tube it wouldn’t be that difficult to assemble a degree program. All you need to add is a testing/assessment method.

If Pearson owns the market, it will be exactly the opposite. Anyone wanting to homeschool or do online learning would be wise to avoid any of their products and patronize the small guys.
