Is Online College Worth the Cost? 5 Ways Students and Parents Can Evaluate Remote Courses
Purdue University, University of Southern California, Vanderbilt University, and more than two dozen other colleges are now facing lawsuits from students who are demanding tuition refunds after the spread of coronavirus forced many institutions to finish spring classes entirely online. That frustration will only grow as campuses struggle to safely reopen in the fall, with many already saying they will likely remain online in some form next semester.
It's up to higher education to keep AI in check (opinion)
The ubiquity of mobile computing -- and rise of algorithms that determine what we watch, hear and experience -- is raising frequent, and perhaps well-founded, concerns about the disintermediation of humans from decision making. Chat bots respond to our most obscure queries in nanoseconds. Algorithms help us pick the perfect restaurant, partner or job candidate. Artificial intelligence, in particular, conjures fears of a dystopian future where Elon Musk’s “demons” come for more than just our jobs.
Robots May Not Take Your Job After All
Over 150 years ago, British author Samuel Butler predicted the rise of artificial intelligence, calling for a “war to the death” against machines – and arguing that that “the time will come when the machines will hold the real supremacy over the world and its inhabitants.” Today, the inevitable conflict between man and AI-powered machines permeates our national discourse, as the threat of technological unemployment looms large.

What Higher Education Can Learn from Fitbit - EdSurge News
Today, technology is allowing us to capture unprecedented data on our daily activities. Wearables like Fitbit track movement, calories burned—even sleep. GPS enabled mobile devices capture my car’s every turn. The Internet of Things helps us understand temperature preferences to optimize energy consumption at home. In each case, widespread broadband access coupled with the explosion of mobile computing is making it easy to measure activities that were, historically, almost impossible to capture.
Liberal arts colleges must jettison antiquated lectures to stay relevant
Higher education “disrupters” often claim that if Rip Van Winkle awoke today after 200 years, the only institutions he would recognize would be schools and churches. Transportation, technology, business, and healthcare have transformed so dramatically in the past two centuries that they would be unrecognizable.
Professors should seize chance to use data to improve learning (essay)
When Rowland Hussey Macy opened his namesake store in 1858, understanding consumer behavior was largely a matter of guessing. Retailers had little data to assess what customers wanted or how variables like store hours, assortment or pricing might impact sales.
