Sigh...

I wrote a long blog post about the campus potentially choosing Moodle the other week and accidently clicked the wrong place and lost it all. I was too discouraged to rewrite it all.

I have a secret project I'll be able to reveal soon. But can't quite yet.

I went to a dinner this evening for PHENOM. The speaker talked about how the student loan phenomenon has created a bubble in education: I hadn't made the connection before. In the past, we funded higher education by paying for it. But for the past 20 years, we've forced students to go into debt to pay for higher education (so that rich people can get richer). The net result is that, as the economy collapses, and student's can't pay back their debts, I think we're likely to see a collapse of higher education. Once people realize that higher education isn't a path to success: that it doesn't assure of you getting a job (and just results in you being in debt), the whole house of cards is going to fall. Very discouraging.
