About DIY U

DIY U: Edupunks, Edupreneurs and the Coming Transformation of Higher Education is about the future of higher education. It’s a story about the communities of visionaries who are tackling the enormous challenges of cost, access, and quality in higher ed, using new technologies to bring us a revolution in higher learning that is affordable, accessible, and learner-centered.

“This book is not only a smart and forward-thinking look at new and exciting trends in self-directed higher learning, it’s also a smart resource guide for students and their families anxious to take their education into their own hands” says Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind.

Hey, just a wonderin'.. have failed in the past to convert these EST/PST dates/times to GMT. We use GMT+12:00 o'er here in New Zealand to keep ourselves connected with the illusionary static. Would you mind posting GMTs for us?

Thanks.

If you want to really change the reality of higher ed, I can offer a single word, "competition". The whole experience of college and its goal, work, is to prove yourself better than someone else, hence the expense of doing it all by yourself. It is easier to divide and conquer for the college admin staff as well when they're only dealing with timid freshmen. The moment students start COOPERATING with each other, is when the whole, shakey edifice will come crashing down...for the better. They should be group buying and group selling textbooks, prepping each other for tests, pushing out the corporate food sellers on campus, sharing old clothes, living in buildings communally...they should be squatting and controlling all access to buildings themselves, and otherwise REMOVING THE PROFIT, the private gain on themselves, from the experience of obtaining their own education. Will this ever happen? NOT A CHANCE!
