With the holidays fast approaching, you might be tempted to pick out some festive glitter polish (we LOVE “Fresh Frog of Bel Air” from OPI’s new Muppets collection- pictured below). But if you’ve ever used glitter polish, you know the frustration of trying to remove the glitter from your nails when you’re ready for a new manicure.
For easy glitter polish removal, simply:
An excerpt:
- INFORMATION IS PRICELESS. With MIT’s OpenCourseWare – the university’s classes offered online for free – as well as a long list of other quality free educational resources, the public perception of what holds value in education has changed. Facts and how-to’s are freely available to anyone with Internet access. So why pay upwards of $40,000 a year in tuition? “OpenCourseWare was an important signpost that hammered home the point that the content of a university course was being rapidly commoditized by technology,” DeMillo said in the interview with New York Times reporter Tamar Lewin. “If you [college professor] think your value is in 13 weeks of lectures, then exams, it’s true that that’s probably not going to be as valuable in the future.”
The entire article is filled with pie-in-the-sky thinking along these lines. They espouse the virtues of open courseware, and how in the future everyone will go to college for free because it’s all free online. Really. I guess we’ll conveniently overlook things like:
- Accreditation, which is important when you’re getting a…
- Degree, which employers like to see come from an accredited school
- The fact that successful online students are organized and motivated (how many 18-year-olds do you know who embody those two things?)
- Faculty who’ll apparently teach for free
- Who will maintain and keep the open content current
It astounds me how often these writers let themselves fall in love with the idea of everyone picking up a full-blown, self-directed college education online, completely disregarding the traditional college experience (which includes a heavy dose of social and personal development), or the value of a structured degree program that frequently includes internship or placement opportunities as part of the learning experience. Sorry, not everyone can drop out and start Apple or Facebook.
