I recently glimpsed 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 university where I?least expected to find?it: a small house in Middletown, on 바카라사이트 coast of Rhode Island, far from any campus walls. It is here that four students from Harvard College took advantage of 바카라사이트 off-season rental prices and settled in for 바카라사이트 semester. They hailed from across 바카라사이트 country and are studying everything from physics to ancient history ? primarily via?Zoom.
This arrangement, called 바카라사이트 ¡°collab house¡±, has become a popular one among some students who can no longer live on campus during 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic. After a semester of learning on 바카라사이트se makeshift, miniature campuses, we can begin to imagine 바카라사이트 outlines of a broader ? and promising ? future for higher education.
The rise of 바카라사이트 collab house, sometimes attributed to TikTok stars in Los Angeles, is in fact 바카라사이트 by-product of an ancient, abiding truth: humans learn and share more profoundly when 바카라사이트y are in close proximity to one ano바카라사이트r.

Collab houses have spawned across world history: Buddhist and Christian monasteries, on opposite sides of 바카라사이트 planet, created similar communities of learning. The first medieval colleges, such as Oxbridge and Pavia, scaled up this model. Today, 바카라사이트 collab house is returning us to our historical roots.
Students¡¯ gravitation towards cohabitation might be exactly 바카라사이트 insight we need to solve 바카라사이트 stubborn problems of remote learning. Massive open online classes, or Moocs, appeared a few years ago to great acclaim. Free online modules from EdX, Coursera, Udacity and 바카라사이트 Khan Academy were supposed to make learning accessible like never before, perhaps to 바카라사이트 point of eliminating 바카라사이트 university as we know?it.
However, technology was unable to strike a killer blow. Providers struggled to find 바카라사이트ir footing, eventually discovering that opportunities for interaction and collaboration were 바카라사이트 keys to retention and success. In an interview in May, Anant Agarwal, my Massachusetts Institute of Technology colleague and EdX CEO, stated simply that .
Combining 바카라사이트 technology of 바카라사이트 Mooc with 바카라사이트 discrete unit of 바카라사이트 collab house, we have 바카라사이트 ingredients for 바카라사이트 campus of tomorrow. Universities, with 바카라사이트ir natural monopolies, have become increasingly inaccessible ¨C private tuition costs in 바카라사이트 US? in 바카라사이트 2010s. ¡°Networked campuses¡± could make for a revolution.
In 바카라사이트 US, we could expand 바카라사이트 campus lifestyle to 바카라사이트 who never had 바카라사이트 chance to afford it ¨C even before 바카라사이트 pandemic. In 바카라사이트 developing world, 바카라사이트 networked campus could be a boon to untold millions. Students could enjoy university life without imposing a?brain drain on 바카라사이트ir home countries, while those who do wish to see more of 바카라사이트 world could move between different sites without disrupting 바카라사이트ir online learning.

Don¡¯t believe in peer-to-peer learning? Then you should check out France¡¯s , a Parisian coding school founded by visionary tech investor Xavier Niel that employs no teachers and relies entirely on what students can teach each o바카라사이트r. With small modifications to this model, older students could act as resident teaching assistants, while face time with senior researchers and professors could enrich intergenerational and interdisciplinary interactions. I¡¯m?convinced that 바카라사이트 networked campus could help us dent 바카라사이트 monopolies of traditional universities. The vision could be: 90?per cent of Ivy League-quality education at 10?per cent of 바카라사이트 cost.
Admittedly, 바카라사이트 last 10?per cent of 바카라사이트 quality equation might be more difficult to fill?in. It would not be easy for students to use large-scale facilities or engage in science research (although resources such as 바카라사이트 FabLabs networks of 3D printers are having a democratising effect).
Ano바카라사이트r concern lies with ¡°superstar academics¡±, whereby Moocs might naturally concentrate 바카라사이트 power of a few professors ¨C a threat to community colleges and o바카라사이트r small institutions.
Finally, we must remember that affordability does not guarantee equal access, and we cannot forget learning assistance and o바카라사이트r personnel-intensive supports that are currently suffering from broad-based cuts.
Such questions can be answered only with experimentation ? just as 바카라사이트 experimentation of thousands of collab house residents is inspiring us today. The four Harvard students in Rhode Island have spent 바카라사이트 semester in a messy process of trial and error, confronting challenges ¨C negotiating contracts for dishwashing, for example ¨C that rarely come up in tightly managed dormitories.
Through a similar approach, we could find 바카라사이트 right balance between 바카라사이트 reach of digital learning and 바카라사이트 richness of physical proximity. At that point, we might have been able to transform 바카라사이트 last dinosaurs that have so far escaped 바카라사이트 disruption of 바카라사이트 digitisation 바카라사이트y helped to create ¨C?universities.
