Bill Gates is everywhere in education these days. I've written about him on this blog before. He's making ripples throughout K-12 education, and now is setting his sights on higher education. The Gates Foundation is now working to open education to more learners by providing online courses, particularly for community college and low income populations. The timing seems right as even President Obama is pushing for increased use of community colleges. Many leaders see the value of education, particularly higher education, for tomorrow's workforce, and community colleges are excellent resources that are too often overlooked when considering post-secondary learning options.
