I’ve been wanting to take a bikram yoga course, or a tennis workshop. This app would be the perfect tool if I lived in NYC. The concept, if expanded to include online courses and multiple cities, could be not only a time and money saver, but also an innovative way for a different kind of student to emerge: one that studies Western civilisation in London, anthropological advances in northern Africa, and science in Stockholm. With universities such as The University of the People that are linking students to a free NYU education, the possibility for a unique and dynamic educational experience is eminent.
Online university challenges traditional higher education - promoting free education is truly admirable, and the composite of the increasingly business focused universities in the US and UK.
