Democratizing high quality education.

It used to be that the best teachers were available only to a few dozens of privileged students at a time. But now we have the technology to scale great pedagogy to reach millions of learners. I also think we ought to move from a push model of education to a pull model, i.e., learners get to pick and choose from a selection of good teachers and progress through various levels at their own pace (and get accredited for their learning). Classroom learning really ought to go or be reduced to very special cases. That we all have to be synchronized on when we are prepared to learn a topic is an outdated concept.

MOOCs are an excellent step in this direction, but we really should be doing more. In education, I think we're in a stage similar to where internet search was before google or smart phones were before iphone.
