2 | Peter Thiel | The Thiel Fellowship is funded and founded by Thiel, who is a critic of the higher education system. He started the ‘Thiel Fellows,” program in 2011. The program awards twenty individuals under the age of twenty— $100,000. It’s a highly competitive application process. Thiel Fellows are given a no-strings-attached grant of $100,000 to skip college and focus on their work, their research, and their self-education. Its network of visionary thinkers, investors, scientists, and entrepreneurs, who provide guidance and business connections mentors them. According to Thiel, education is still stuck in the 19th Century, including basic details like the way our schools look. Thiel’s “20 under 20″ program that provides students who bypass college with million-dollar scholarships. Asked about how the program can scale, Thiel freely admitted he doesn’t “have a great answer to that question”. Daniel Friedman, 21, who was in the Thiel program in 2011 cofounded Thinkful in 2012. Thinkful is designed to provide personalized online learning for people. It’s starting with a course on front-end web development but plans to expand to other areas of computer skills and software development. Thinkful has raised $1 million in seed financing from Peter Thiel and others. | One Letterman Drive Building C, Suite 420 Presidio of San Francisco San Francisco, CA 94129 Susan MacTavish Best, mactavishbestpr@gmail.com press@foundersfund.com | Future of education Role of corporates Funding open courses Educational startups | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel http://www.foundersfund.com/ http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/257531/back-future-peter-thiel-interview | ||||||||||||||||
3 | Ben Nelson | Nelson has founded the Minerva Project, a startup online university. The Minerva Project is a first-of-its-kind hybrid of old and new in which there is no campus and students take all of their courses online, but live together in traditional college dorms. The idea comes from the thought that social interaction is as important as the kind of customized learning that high-tech online classes promise. The school is still in its planning stages and isn’t scheduled to open until the fall of 2015. But it has already raised $25 million from investment firm Benchmark Capital, making it one of the best-funded higher education startups of its kind, and announced a yearly $500,000 award that aims to be a Nobel Prize for teaching. Former U.S. Treasury Secretary and Harvard president Larry Summers, Bob Kerrey, a former Senator from Nebraska who was president of the New School in New York from 2001 to 2010, and Stephen Kosslyn, the director of the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University are on the board of the project. | SFO | Hybrid education Online college | Can be contacted through the Contact form at http://www.minervaproject.com/ | DC Office: 720 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510-2705 Phone: 202-224-6551 Fax: 202-228-0012 Web Email Website District Office- Lincoln: 287 Denny Federal Building 100 Centennial Mall North Lincoln, NE 68508 Phone: 402-441-4600 Fax: 402-476-8753 District Office- Omaha: 7602 Pacific Street, Suite 205 Omaha, NE 68114 Phone: 402-391-3411 Fax: 402-391-4725 | http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Ben_Nelson | ||||||||||||||
4 | Jerry Brown | California Gov. Jerry Brown has been pushing online courses as one way for the state's universities to expand access to students and reduce student costs.

17 | Mohammad Qayoumi | Mohammad Humayon Qayoumi, president of San José State University thinks public universities should take a lesson from Wal-Mart—he is referring to the retail giant's ability to continually expand both its brick-and-mortar stores and its online services. "It has the biggest stores all over the country, but it is also really active in e-commerce," he says. "It's not an either/or, it's an issue of how we can really bring a blend of the two together." Mr. Qayoumi is trying a similar blending on his campus. He is experimenting with using massive open online courses, or MOOCs, both to bring down the cost of delivering classes on his campus and to let high-school students and others get a head start on college. He hopes the partnership with Udacity will be a game changer. Both moves are part of Mr. Qayoumi's plan to "reinvent" public universities. He has laid out that vision in a series of reports that call for public colleges to use technology to produce more graduates while spending less money. In one, he suggests that some high-school students might take a year's worth of courses as MOOCs before even coming to a college campus. Mr. Qayoumi sees the move to online learning as a way to actually improve the quality of education. In large lecture classes, he says, people romanticize the classroom experience and overstate the effectiveness of the chalk-and-talk format. When professors give monologues to a room of 120 students, few actually interact with the sage on the stage. The president compares higher education today to the railroad industry in the 1940s and 50s: Companies that stubbornly clung to the view that they were in the railroad business failed, while those that diversified, considering their mission as transportation in whatever form, thrived. "How can we really help our students be successful?" he asks. "How can we be this cradle of creativity and an intellectual center of new ideas and new knowledge?" "We are a learning enterprise," he says. And he's willing to abandon the old rails of traditional instruction. But he does feel a sense of urgency for his reforms. "Isn't it about time that something should change?" he asks. "From the day that chalk and a blackboard were invented, how much change has really been made? We need to move far faster than what we have been comfortable" with up to now, he says. | California State University, East Bay 25800 Carlos Bee Blvd. Hayward, CA 94542 (510) 885-3877 Office of the President (408) 924-1177 Fax (408) 924-1199 | Online initiatives of traditional universities | mo.qayoumi@sjsu.edu | ||||||||||||||||

19 | Dale J. Stephens | Dale Stephens is an American entrepreneur, speaker, author, and one of the original 24 recipients of the Thiel Fellowship.He is the founder of UnCollege, which is a social movement that aims to change the notion that going to college is the only path to success. Stephens is an "elementary school dropout,". While his peers attended middle school and high school, Stephens took college classes, started businesses, lived in France, worked on political campaigns, and helped build a library. At the age of 17, he tweeted the founder of Zinch, which led to an internship. In 2011, Stephens founded UnCollege, which provides resources to students that wish to educate themselves outside of the realm of traditional higher education.UnCollege features resources, forums, and workshops designed to help students, whether in or out of college, gain useful skills. Stephens brings a unique perspective on the future of education, talent, and innovation. He is a sought-after speaker and education expert appearing on major news networks including ABC News, TechCrunch, Huffington Post, Chronicle of Higher Education, New York Magazine, Forbes, and National Public Radio. UnCollege is a social movement that applies the methods of "unschooling"—the self-directed brand of homeschooling with which he was raised—to the realm of higher education. He works with two groups: academic institutions and corporations. He designs strategies for the successful universities of the future and create solutions for companies to manage human talent in an evolving world. | SFO | Future of online education Use of ICT Companies in OLE | http://www.uncollege.org/ dale@uncollege.org For speaking requests, contact Steve Sobel: SteveS@WashingtonSpeakers.com 703.684.0555 | ||||||||||||||||

Dylan believes UnCollege is poised to play a central role in the emerging ecosystem of alternative approaches to learning that will revolutionize the world of education over the next ten years.

22 | Bill Gates | The nonprofit Gates Foundation has been the “biggest funder” of the MOOCs. Gates noted that although effective, modern MOOCs are relatively straightforward technologically, suggesting that they could be made much more impactful through use of smarter software. Speaking at the Techonomy Conference in Lake Tahoe in 2010, Gates shared his views on the future of education. He discussed the increasing expense of achieving a good education and said that the only way to decrease that cost, is by reducing the need for “place-based” colleges and universities, in turn giving everyone an equal chance to a high-level education through technology. “Five years from now you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world on the web for free. It will be better than any single university!” said Gates. At Microsoft's annual two-day Faculty Summit, Gates told those in attendance that with the highest higher-education dropout rate in the developed world, the U.S. education system is broken, and that MOOCs and other online education start-ups like Khan Academy can fix it. Though he touted online education's ability to give students unprecedented access to new areas of study and help physical institutions personalize learning, he added that it's still far from reaching its full potential, and that work needed to be done on understanding what makes an online course good and how to recreate lab experiences and study groups. | Seattle | Future of online education Use of ICT | wales | ||||||||||||||||
23 | Jimmy Wales | Wales says that unless universities respond to the rising tide of online courses new major players will emerge to displace them, in the way that Microsoft arrived from nowhere alongside the personal computer. "I think that the impact is going to be massive and transformative," says Mr Wales, describing the importance of the MOOCs (massive open online courses) that have signed up millions of students. "It's also been slower than anyone would have anticipated. But I'm not a person who thinks that people will be able to just go online and get a complete education without the guidance of the teacher. That sort of simplistic model shouldn't be our framework." Instead he thinks that universities need to use online technology where it really works. | London | Future of online education Use of ICT | Interested in having Jimmy speak to your organization?

57 | Paul LeBlanc | Southern New Hampshire University, a private nonprofit university is little known nationally, not selective, and depends on tuition. It sits in a state whose population of public high-school graduates is projected to decline for years. But rather than limping along, this obscure institution is becoming a regional powerhouse—online. With 7,000 online students, the university has grown into the second-largest online education provider in college-saturated New England, aiming to blow the University of Massachusetts out of the top spot. It offers a case study of what happens when a college leader adopts some of the Harvard Business School professor's strategies for managing disruptive change. The university's president, Paul J. LeBlanc, has installed a team of for-profit veterans who help run a highly autonomous online outfit that caters to older students, with classes taught mostly by low-paid adjuncts. Their online operation is the institution's economic engine, subsidizing its money-losing undergraduate campus, known as University College, whose 2,350 students enjoy a new dining hall, Olympic-size pool, and small classes taught largely by full-time professors. | Southern New Hampshire University 2500 N.
