104.  Classics and Remakes

As a person of a certain age, many of my favorite films growing up have been remade at least once.  In this episode I’ll get into what crafts a good remake of a classic film, and why some recent attempts have missed the mark.  And why do we call them “classics,” anyway?  Then I’ll look at how this applies to higher education. Having grown up in the classic higher education paradigm, I will examine how current efforts to remake the traditional higher ed ecosystem in the image of the latest trends in social and political influences are meeting with an uneven reception, both inside the ivy walls and in public opinion. And again, I’ll look at how classical paradigms are relevant to understanding where we have been and where we are.   EdUp Insights with Bill Pepicello is part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network
