With the popularity of MOOCs (massive open online courses) and the availability of online degree programs at a fraction of their on-campus price, we are experiencing an exciting experiment in higher education. Does the traditional classroom stand a chance? Will online education be the great equalizer, or is a campus-based college experience still necessary? This debate features four of the most notable figures engaged in and leading the dialogue on on-line education. Against the motion is Jonathan Cole, the John Mitchell Mason Professor of the University and Columbia’s former Provost and Dean of Faculties, and Rebecca Schuman, Columnist, Slate and Chronicle of Higher Education. For the motion are Anant Agarwal, President, edX and Professor, MIT, and Ben Nelson, Founder and CEO, Minerva Project. The debate will be moderated by John Donvan, Author and Correspondent for ABC News. Intelligence Squared is producing this debate for a live national television and radio audience.
