The best way to make college cheaper? Using technology to make it available anywhere, Bill Gates said during a presentation at last week’s Technonomy conference in Lake Tahoe, CA. “College, except for the parties, needs to be less place-based,” [Gates] said. Gates predicted that technology could soon make place-based learning five times less important for college and university students. The computer czar also said that technological advances, such as online classes, could possibly decrease tuition costs from $50,000 at some schools to as little as $2,000. Gates also said that home-schoolers are on the “cutting edge” of using some of these technologies.
