Adapting to Higher Ed’s Change from a Public to a Private Good (Part 1)

By David Collis - EvoLLLution. The obvious analogue is healthcare, which has in some ways, 20 years before, gone through this switch. The classic 60s view of higher education was that it’s good for the state if we provide the funding to encourage people to go to higher education. It’s good for them but more importantly it’s good for the whole economy and the state was willing to fund higher education access for everyone. Similarly, health care in the old days was provided by not-for-profit institutions and publically funded institutions. More...

Free tuition isn’t a magic bullet

By Jeff Collins and Ben Eisen. Eliminating tuition fees for university students is a wasteful and inefficient policy idea. Students themselves share in the benefits of higher education through increased lifetime earnings and it is reasonable that they should also share some of the costs. More...

How a no-frills university aims to rival Harvard

By Simona Chiose. Is a university that has no tenured faculty, no sports teams and no real classrooms – not even a building of its own – still a university?
If you’re Ben Nelson, the answer is yes. He considers such things unnecessary, frills that detract from the fundamental mission of higher education. Read more...

Seeking the unique pedagogical characteristics of computing

By Tony Bates. This was a fun one to do, mainly because I ignored any previous research on this topic, because I rarely, to my shame, read articles in journals on computing and education. When I have done, the articles seem to be about another world of education in which I don’t – or didn’t – work. So I deserve your criticisms of this post, and, if I’m honest, I would welcome direction to any references that I ought to take account of, so long as they will enable me to help faculty in their teaching.
