Does YouTube do to the Old Education Business model of brick & mortar schools what iTunes did to Tower Records?
Why save for college if education is essentially free? What can one get from sitting in a $40,000 per year lecture hall that one can't get watching the same lecture on one's iPhone?Mahndisa S. Rigmaiden said...

Hey, I totally agree and have mentioned the many resources available for scholarship online and for FREE. I would say the biggest pitfull of autodidactism is that information needs to be verified so that we don't teach ourselves nonsense.
I tell all the kids I tutor not to use Wikipedia as a reference in their papers. They can go to Wikipedia and use their source material if from an edu or .gov or professional organization. But with that said, if the revolution in our consciousnesses is to be complete, we must learn to think critically again. Internet based learning is a vehicle to do just that.
I took an online course this past semester and it was wonderful. Here is a link to a post I did a while ago with legit links where you can get TONS of current information in the sciences and I think I put up some legal sites too.

definitely an important piece of the larger solution puzzle...., but this yourteacher.com business model likely cannot persist beyond the preliminary stages of instructional disintermediation.
to break it down to particulars, this website is closed source..., and the future of education is undoubtedly open source.
