Description
Higher Education in the Digital Age: Updated Edition by William G. Bowen The cost of higher education is rising rapidly, and technology has emerged as a potential solution to this crisis. In this concise and insightful book, economist and former university president William G. Bowen explores how online learning can help control costs without compromising student learning. Bowen examines the latest developments in technology-based teaching and learning initiatives, including massive open online courses (MOOCs), and argues that these innovations have the potential to transform traditional higher education. By increasing productivity while preserving quality and core values, online education could help curb rising costs. However, Bowen also acknowledges the significant challenges that must be addressed, including providing evidence of cost-effectiveness and rethinking governance structures. Despite these challenges, Bowen remains optimistic about the potential benefits of online learning in higher education.
