DIY U Edupunks, Edupreneurs, and the Coming Transformation…

Blogged and reviewed by Norm Friesen - A new book by Anya KamenatzDIY U Edupunks, Edupreneurs, and the Coming Transformation

The book examinesthe crises (rising tuition, falling standards) and opportunities (cc content, blended learning) that institutions of higher learning are confronting.DIY education will grow, learners will have “personal learning paths” as central to DIY in higher ed. Rather than threaten institutions they will augment 
'The future lies in personal learning networks and paths, learning that blends experiential and digital approaches, and free and open-source educational models. Increasingly, you will decide what, when, where, and with whom you want to learn, and you will learn by doing. The university is the cathedral of modernity and rationality, and with our whole civilization in crisis, we are poised on the brink of a new Reformation'
