Non-traditional instruction


I am currently looking for employment in the online higher education environment. It's been a challenge with the current economy, but I am certain that it will happen. With that in mind, I found an interesting article in the Chronicle of Higher Education regarding non-traditional education. I found this article to be inspiring and hopeful.


"Salman Khan, a former financial analyst, has created 1,400 educational videos and posted them to YouTube. "My single biggest goal is to try to deliver things the way I wish they were delivered to me," he says. The most popular educator on YouTube does not have a Ph.D. He has never taught at a college or university. And he delivers all of his lectures from a bedroom closet.
