The two most visual and important trends in higher education today are an increase in the costs of it and the rapid development of online learning. Can the distribution of online courses slow down the increase in the cost of training in college and help resolve a crisis of the availability of higher education?
In this small and interpretation book, William Bowen, a former president of Princeton University, one of the leading experts working at the junction of pedagogy and economics, explains why, despite his previous skepticism, he now believes that modern technologies can reduce costs To teach students without prejudice to the quality of education.
Bowen considers a wide range of initiatives in the field of training and teaching, based on new technologies, including popular mass open online courses (MOOOK), and claims that such technologies can transform traditional higher education, allowing to reduce Its cost and increase productivity without prejudice to quality and key values.
But organizational, philosophical and technological challenges are very large. In particular, it is necessary to give good evidence of whether online education is profitable in various institutions, to rethink the structure of management and decision-making in higher education, as well as develop technological platforms customized for individual needs. Nevertheless, Bowen retains optimism, believing that the potential gain is very great
