What is your philosophy of higher education?

Thursday, August 26th, 2010
JayB asked:


I am trying to write a paper for one of my classes, and am having a hard time finding information on the topic. Our prof wants us to get others philosophies of higher education and evaluate them and come up with our own. However, when I search “philosophy of higher education” all I get is info on PhD programs! So, if you are a higher ed administrator or an educator, what is your philosophy of higher education, or what is your college’s philosophy?
Also if you have any tips on where to find this information, or better ways to search, please let me know!
Thanks for your help!

How will executive education change in the next 5-10 years?

Saturday, August 21st, 2010
ZaphodBeeblebroxx asked:


Will office workers and executives of the future sit in classrooms to get their executive education? Will it be delivered through Second Life or another virtual world? What role will Web 2.0 technologies play in executive education? Will we get our training through mobile phones? Will we train each other, through Wikis and similar technologies? If you are 20-25 years old now, or have experience of this, please let me know what you think about this. Thanks!

Considering such issues as gender, culture, curriculum, testing, and philosophy, how has formal education been influenced by national development? How have changes in society influenced changes in the way in which students are educated, as well as philosophies about education?

Question for socialists only: How much education should citizens get for free?

Sunday, August 8th, 2010
water_skipper asked:


Question for socialists only: How much education should citizens get for free? I can’t find the data, but I know I saw a chart showing how countries with low education are very poor and countries with lots of education are much better off financially. So it stands to logic if a country were to give every citizen a free PhD quality education it’s per capita income would be highest in the world. Would you support this? Why or why not?
