How does the traditional university compete with this?

How are the expectations of “free” and online changing what we do in higher education?

“We have stone age emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.”E. O. Wilson

Will top quality educators attract more students & have more impact by being divorced from notable institutions?

Or will rogue online instructors come crawling back to the educational brands that gave them prestige?

Will schools aim to block professors from doing these kinds of projects in the future to prevent losing their star talents?
