Educating the Many, Not the Few: A Digital Model for Change

This event will be webcast live on Tuesday, April 13, 12:30 pm ET and archived on the Berkman Center for Internet and Society's site shortly after.

Shai Reshef's session will address barriers and bridges to education, the impact of the Internet on learning platforms, University of the People (UoPeople) and the challenges he faces implementing this model. How are students of different cultures able to teach each other? How can a free university be effective? What is the impact of the freedom of information over the internet? What does UoPeople and similar education models mean for traditional brick & mortar universities? For more information on UoPeople, visit www.uopeople.org.
