The impact of work and life experience on learning: A conversation with Peter Smith
Oftentimes, when we consider the current, traditional higher education experience, we neglect to give thought to whether our institutions are providing the necessary resources to all learners. Are we truly helping those from under-served populations, or those who want to attend college, but can not find the time or money to attend? Are higher education institutions addressing these concerns, or are the traditional institutions leaving it to those who are outside of academia to figure it out? Who is best suited to helping learners learn? Peter Smith's newest book, "Stories from the Underground: The New Frontier for Learning and Work," tells a few of these stories.
