I wish there was a huge push into Khan academy, but for more advanced topics e.g. graduate level with clear course structure.
I really think this could feed into a rich ecosystem of free, online distributed research and publications. Ideally that could lead to public grants and funding for research outside of the university system.
Maybe one day.
- MiroF 6y agoThis seems so obviously important to me and yet there is pretty much no will to do it in the government.
- Avicebron 6y agoYeah...I really don't understand the government's deliberate strangulation of research and positive advancement. Part of the prosperity of the 20th century was driven by a flood of funding into technological innovations of multiple fronts. It's a shame it took a war to bring it on, but it was so obviously beneficial it looks stupid not to acknowledge it.
- dayvid 6y agoMy guess is that most politicians don't come from STEM backgrounds, mostly law or public policy so they don't see the inherit value in it.
- sitkack 6y agoCoupled with the American war on intellectualism and a capturing of the state by corporations, and higher education bloated with administrators, there are sufficient blockers that a coordinated state level AAA online higher education system will be pretty hard to achieve. The closest possibility is that the California state school system develops an online wing.
