Creating the Future of Higher Education-The End of College

The cost of college has exploded in recent years, and whole generations are sinking deeper into college debt. Kevin Carey, PhD, education researcher and writer, Director of the Education Policy Program at the New America Foundation, co-author of The End of College: Creating the Future of Learning and the University of Everywhere discussed recent innovations in digital learning and why he believes that the current methods of higher education are woefully outdated. He said, more than ever, a college degree is required to secure even a middle class income for those entering the workforce, but he believes universities much be willing to adapt to online learning and other new technologies.
