Disrupting Education : Free Local Education Hubs
Local education hubs in combination with online course repositories are helping disrupt the education system. An increasing number students are looking for alternatives to debt inducing, linear learning methodology University degrees. Universities typically focus on linear learning strategies that tie students too long with prerequisite laden degree programs and end up requiring huge investments of money to gain access to these programs and receive the “degree”. Universities and traditional education systems are terribly bureaucratic and awful at fast moving change and disruption. If change is going to happen it will have to be through these agile, self forming and distributed education cooperatives and networks such as KC AI Lab.
Local education hubs and online course repositories offer a way to speed the education process and avoid the lost wages and productivity of Universities. Students can pick what they want to study, collaborate with other local members and begin impacting their chosen field immediately.
The benefits of local education hubs:
- Study what you want and avoid unnecessary prerequisites.
- No requirement to relocate to a campus or sit in a desk in a classroom environment. Instead workshops, online collaboration and real world projects are the key interaction points for members.
- No, or minimal investment as opposed to traditional universities which require huge sums of money.
- Learn in a non-linear fashion, picking your desired path, changing focus as your skills evolve rather than a prescribed curriculum.
- Local collaborators help each other and collaborate on real world challenges.
- Flexible scheduling of study time and engagement.
- No enrollment, acceptance or student debt required.
- Save tons of money and time.
