Its already happening and if schools dont jump in and start exploring, they will lose out on whats coming and wont be around.
Here is a prime example of what more than a few school are doing now (for free) and how they will turn this into profit to change higher education. Guess who is in there??? 
Coursera.org |
That website is pretty cool.
Anyone tried any of the courses?
