Paul Pfleiderer on the Misuse of Economic Models
EconTalk
Daphne Koller talks with host Russ Roberts about online educational website Coursera and the future of education both online and via bricks-and-mortar. Koller explains how Coursera partners with universities, how they try to create community and interaction, and the likely impact of widespread digital education on universities and those who want to learn. The conversation includes a discussion of why Koller left a chaired position in computer science at Stanford U. to run a for-profit start-up in a crowded field.
