The nice thing about education: it only takes one to deliver to many. If we could have one person make an open Algebra Textbook millions can benefit from it.

We just need a systematic method to pay for this material to be produced.

The fact that many colleges are subsidized by the government prevents many other solutions from gaining traction.

When an 18 year old looks at the options he goes to a public school because all he has to do is sign on the dotted line. These students will not even feel the burden of the cost until they leave.

This is especially interesting to me. For the last month or so I have been creating a free online training center for game development.

We are getting funding through Google Adsense and it has worked out so far.

I think this could be the future of education: delivering quality content with as little overhead as possible.

I guess we'll see how it works out.
