This Week’s Top Stories in Higher Ed

January 3, 2013

Welcome back from the holidays! There were some good pieces over the break that I wanted to share for those who are just getting back and catching up.

Josh Kim has a great piece on MOOCS and the right conversations institutions should be having about them.

The New York Times had an important editorial on the Department of Education’s Pay As You Earn repayment program for direct loans.

Finally, Jeff Young at the Chronicle has their 10 hottest Ed-Tech Stories of 2012. Again, there is a heavy emphasis on MOOCS. As Sophia, a Capella-owned website, grows it’s going to be a hot story for 2013.
