Description

Higher Education in the Digital Age explores how online learning can help control rising costs and improve affordability. William G. Bowen argues that technology has the potential to transform traditional higher education, increasing productivity while preserving quality and core values.

The author, an expert on the intersection of education and economics, examines the challenges and opportunities presented by new technologies such as massive open online courses (MOOCs). He discusses the need for hard evidence on the cost-effectiveness of online education, rethinking governance structures, and developing customizable technological platforms.

Bowen remains optimistic about the potential benefits of online learning in higher education, despite the daunting challenges that lie ahead. This concise book offers a thoughtful analysis of the role of technology in shaping the future of higher education.
