Napster, Udacity, and the Academy

Clay Shirky sobre los aspectos o partes de la educación superior que se ven perturbados (disrupted) por los MOOC, análogamente a lo que el MP3 supuso para la industria musical. Vía @jordi_a.

We ask students to read the best works we can find, whoever produced them and where, but we only ask them to listen to the best lecture a local employee can produce that morning. Sometimes you're at a place where the best lecture your professor can give is the best in the world. But mostly not. And the only thing that kept this system from seeming strange was that we've never had a good way of publishing lectures.
