Redesigning education
About a year back a friend asked my a hypothetical question, what I would do if I had a lot of money? What problem would I try to solve? And I surprised him with my answer: I would build a University, my University :-)
I see a lot of potential for education to solve the majority of humanities problems and over the last year i have given the idea some thought. But now I need your input:What would you change in education in general and University education in specific to improve on toady's system?
I truly believe, that today's approach to teaching at institutes of higher learning is flawed. Everything is put on PowerPoint slides and pushed into a twelve week semester etc. So, if you could rethink the system, take a novel approach to education, what would you do? (Radical ideas are more then welcome, maybe even a suggestion to shift the paradigm, to redefine the problem)
You can comment to this post, drop me an email (marcuskuhn@gmail.com), send me a message on Facebook (facebook.com/marcuskuhn) or even send a flash of genius via Twitter (twitter.com/marcuskuhn). Not only ideas are welcome but also other materials and interesting reads.
