Charlie Rose: Online Education
Posted by Charlie Rose April 25, 2013.
In a discussion about massive open online courses offering an Ivy League education to students everywhere, Charlie Rose asks: “Is this at long last an idea whose time has come?” Guest commentators include Anant Agarwal, CEO of edX; Amy Gutmann, president of the University of Pennsylvania; Joel Klein, former New York City Schools chancellor and CEO of Amplify; and Thomas Friedman of the New York Times. San Jose State recently announced it will expand its collaboration with edX to more California State University campuses and more courses. During this show, Agarwal and Friedman discuss how the SJSU/edX blended model is improving student performance, increasing access to higher education, and emerging as a business model that works.
