More on the great "unbundling" of higher education

Here’s another story along these lines. If “Statistics.com” offers some of the best stats material at low cost (via a combination of content from “all stars” and outsourced support from India), then why not take these classes from this company instead of from JBU, especially if this is one of those fields where “integration” at the course level is much less explicit? And if that’s the future of technical education in particular (Engineering, Science, Math, etc.), what happens to our “all in one” education model at a place like JBU? These are the kinds of questions that are the focus nowadays of our CAO conferences and that keep me awake at night.
