Carlson, S., & Blumenstyk, G. (2012). For whom is college being reinvented? Chronicle of Higher Education, , 0-0. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/1312422944?accountid=13626
This reading primarily goes about what the problems of college are and what the possible solutions are. It goes about by discussing the positives and negatives of MOOCs, badges, and etc. and states their limitations. At a convention with the best and brightest when it comes to college reform when discussing the methods of how college should be restructured they had to first answer the question who specifically are they attempting to reinvent college for. When one acknowledges the fact that education leading up to college is a mess and the cost and effectiveness of college contains deep socioeconomic challenges it is difficult to tailor a perfect system, so one must discuss who the system leans towards if at all.
