Ha. The world works in mysterious ways -- and organizations are large with many heads. The ideas I see emanating from the Pearson team that Aurelius works with are along the lines of -- Why are there brick-and-mortar schools? Why is education just a short period of your life? Why does a teacher only teach < 100 students in one session? Why do tests still exist? Why can't software be the "office hours" that helps struggling students get back on track with the concepts at hand?

Many of the algorithms were are working with them go into the arena of computationally supporting education.

"If you want to understand X, given your personal knowledge graph, you will first need to understand Y."

"The graph is detecting that student A is struggling with X concept."

"Teacher, given the knowledge of your incoming students, you should focus more on Y concept."

"Teacher, no tests needed, here is a ranking of all your students based on their comprehension of the material."

... hopefully the 80£ (and 80 lbs) textbook will be a thing of the past.
