Beschreibung:
The price of college tuition has increased more than any other major good or service for the last twenty years. Nine out of ten American high school seniors aspire to go to college, yet the United States has fallen from world leader to only the tenth most educated nation. Almost half of college students don't graduate; those who do have unprecedented levels of federal and private student loan debt, which constitutes a credit bubble similar to the mortgage crisis.
1. History : how college-for-all became part of the American dream2. Sociology : human capital and meritocracy, race and class--can we build a system that works for everybody?3. Economics : why college tuition is caught in a cost spiral, and how to stop it4. Computer science : open content, virtual-reality and smartphone classrooms, serious games, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and robotic telescopes5. Independent study : free and open-source education; vocational, experiential, and self-learning6. Commencement : what the transformation of the university might mean for the future of humanity7. Resource guide for a do-it-yourself education : a four part guide for the student who wants to hack her own education; includes a listing of web sites of organizations mentioned in the text.
