520    Colleges and universities have become increasingly costly,
       and, except for a handful of highly selective, elite 
       institutions, unresponsive to twenty-first-century needs. 
       But for the past few years, technology-fueled innovation 
       has begun to transform higher education, introducing new 
       ways to disseminate knowledge and better ways to learn-all
       at lower cost. In this impassioned account, Richard 
       DeMillo tells the behind-the-scenes story of these 
       pioneering efforts and offers a road map for transforming 
       higher education. Building on his earlier book, Abelard to
       Apple, DeMillo argues that the current system of higher 
       education is clearly unsustainable. Colleges and 
       universities are in financial crisis. Tuition rises 
       inexorably. Graduates of reputable schools often fail to 
       learn basic skills, and many cannot find suitable jobs. 
       Meanwhile, student-loan default rates have soared while 
       the elite Ivy and near-Ivy schools seem remote and 
       irrelevant. Where are the revolutionaries who can save 
       higher education? DeMillo's heroes are a small band of 
       innovators who are bringing the revolution in technology 
       to colleges and universities. DeMillo chronicles, among 
       other things, the invention of MOOCs (Massive Open Online 
       Courses) by professors at Stanford and MIT; Salman Khan's 
       Khan Academy; the use of technology by struggling 
       historically black colleges and universities to make 
       learning more accessible; and the latest research on 
       learning and the brain. He describes the revolution's 
       goals and the entrenched hierarchical system it aims to 
       overthrow; and he reframes the nature of the contract 
       between society and its universities. The new institutions
       of a transformed higher education promise to demonstrate 
       not only that education has value but also that it has 
       values-virtues for the common good.
