Anya Kamenetz on Who Can Learn Online, and How? [AUDIO]
June 25th, 2012
Much of the conversation around the new wave of online education startups has focused on what they mean for the incumbent institutions, from for-profit online universities to the traditional Ivy League. But what about what they mean for learners? Who is currently succeeding in open learning contexts? What are the missing pieces of the ecosystem — from discovery, to peer support, to mentoring, to assessment — that will allow the most severely underserved learners to succeed in this new learning environment?
Anya Kamenetz — senior writer at Fast Company Magazine, and author of two books and two ebooks about the future of education — discusses who online learning serves, and how.

I am receiving my MBA online and I fear there is a world wide scarcity in acceptance of Online programs. I think it is great to hear such discussions on the net. Culture in my opinion is the passing on of knowledge, which again means that a high culture should be proud of being able to pass on knowledge and the tools how to use this knowledge. Learning has become much more personal than it has been ever before. It has become more direct than ever before. Now I can study in England, the USA or in Manila and the only precondition is that I have Internet Access. Yet I wonder, why the costs are still very high. – Actually I think that the Universities should be able to permit access to everybody, having the tests put online as the only gatekeepers.
