Washington Post predicts a "virtual revolution" for colleges
September 21st, 2009 - Posted by Caitlin
A recent article in the Washington Post argues that the business model for private colleges in the United States is unsustainable, and that for future generations, undergraduate education may entail a different model altogether. The article points out that online classes are cheaper to produce, making online education a more cost effective option, as well as being more efficient. The Post makes a compelling argument for the increased influence of the Internet on educational institutions, standards and expectations, and predicts a cultural shift in the way employers perceive online degrees.
