Shaking it up: Transformations in Higher Education
The higher education market is bursting with new models and methods for teaching. Some of these new models may grow and others may fade, but all have the potential to shake up the traditional college education experience. Duke faculty and staff who are developing or participating in some of these new models will provide a fast-paced overview of massive, open online courses, experiments in alternative credentialing of student learning and technologies that encourage students in different parts of the world to work together to learn and to solve problems. After hearing about Udemy, MITx, Khan Academy, Stanford’s Artificial Intelligence course, and Google+ Hangouts, we will encourage audience reaction and discussion about the way these experiments are shaking up higher education.
