Description

We are facing a paradigm shift in education, pushed by technology and the new delivery systems it makes possible, and pulled by the demands of lifelong learning required by a knowledge economy. The student is no longer the captive client of monopoly education providers called "universities." Issues involving the nature of education, its definition, its power structure, and its culture are being debated: the question is not only how something is taught but what is taught, when, why, by whom, and for what purpose. Who should control education? How much privilege should professors have? What rights do students have as "consumers?"
