94.  Nothing Is Impossible

Well, at least nothing is impossible for the persons who don’t have to do it.  And in higher education that includes entrepreneurs and visionaries who identify the shortcomings of the current higher education and offer up high-level solutions that provide straightforward solutions to things like time to degree, accessibility, return on investment, and workforce needs. When I read such proposals, I have one nagging question. If it’s so easy, why hasn’t someone already done it? And the answer is that if it were as simple as it seems, someone would have done it.  In this episode I’ll explore what makes transformation in higher ed challenging and where would-be revolutionaries often go wrong in approaching the enterprise of higher education.  EdUp Insights with Bill Pepicello is part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network
