Today, after our wrap-up, Dr. Laber talked to us about his push to make relatively cheap education available to a wide range of people. He wants to create courses that go much deeper than current online resources like Coursera, allowing people to get a PhD-level education online. Dr. Laber believes that those looking only for education shouldn’t be forced to pay exorbitant tuition just to get a job. This set of courses would be achieved through amazon and panels of professors to find the information that needs to be taught and the best way to teach it. Due to the wide availability of such a resource, the costs can be kept low enough that anyone can learn (ex. $50). As most high level jobs require college degrees these days, it’s imperative that such an education can be given to a greater audience.
