By Joshua Kim, Inside Higher Ed
I read lots of nonfiction. Unless these books are about higher education, higher education is unlikely to be mentioned. The Efficiency Paradox is different. Higher education plays a starring role. This is one of the first books written by someone who works primarily outside of academia that gets at a fundamental truth about higher education right. That fundamental truth is that technology to advance learning can be great, as long as that technology is a complement – and not a substitute – for a well-trained and fully-supported educator. In short, nothing matters more than the professor.
