EP 117. Minerva Project: changing an outdated higher education model? HEDx
-
- Education
Minerva Founder Ben Nelson outlines the work that builds on the measurable outcomes of improved learning being achieved in Minerva University to change what he sees as an outdated higher education model. He argues that the current higher education approach has students cram, pass and forget the knowledge they have gained from what we all know to be failed educational processes and curricula. Minerva University seeks to teach diverse students to learn and Minerva Project seeks to scale that model in transforming a 1000 year old university model over a 50 year period of change. What do you think of this model and where progress is up to?
