Edupunks inspired by MIT, MBTA

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Fast Company traces the “edupunk” movement to revolutionize higher education via the Internet to MIT’s OpenCourseWare initiative, which launched in 2001. 

The magazine also talks to Neeru Paharia, a PhD candidate at Harvard Business School and former director of Creative Commons who co-founded P2P University, and furthers the T’s reputation as wellspring of innovation

Ultimately what interests Paharia is proving the model, demonstrating that there’s a way to provide education cheaply or even for free to all who are qualified. “I ride the Boston T around and I see these ads for schools, and it bothers me that so much hope is rested on having an education, and yet at the end of the day you end up with $100,000 in debt. What are you paying for? And is this the best way of setting up the system?”

One more T-inspired technology and we’ve got a journalistically certifiable trend on our hands.
