"You can have any sort of learning provided its based on lectures on a campus and involves lots of exams" Henry T Fraud.
But what if, and humour me here, what if today's learners want flexibility, individual learning journeys, practical hands-on learning, learning at their own speed and assessment when they are ready? What if they want a Smart Car that they helped to design, rather than the mass-produced, jelly mould experience of the "Model T" University?
Well, it wouldn't work would it? It wouldn't be practical, the resources needed are not available, the professors (bless them) would have to change...It would be the end of civilisation as we know it.
Except that many corporate universities, catering, it must be said, for their paymasters, have done just that.
Now, what's that about Higher Education being a market?
