University of the People

Free (or small fee) online courses at university level in development by Shai Reshef, Israeli educational online pioneer.
Things are moving fast in the digital educational world, or maybe I am just in act of discovery. Here in my outpost in Sweden the cutbacks at the physical universites mean that in some fields students are only in physical classes about 3-4 hours a week. Okay, tuition free here, but still. There is certainly a good point to physically interact, meet and discuss, but soon we will wonder what we are paying those tuition bills for. Information is becoming free at a very fast pace.
First the music industry, now the publishing and newspaper industry. Soon the university industry?
