An Uberized education is when –as in antiquity — one goes to a specific teacher to get lectures, bypassing the university. The students and the teachers are thus matched. If a piece of paper is necessary, it would be given by *that* teacher, or a group of teachers. It is not too different from the decentralized apprentice model.<\/p>\n

This already works well for executive “education”. I give short workshops in my specialty of applied probability (I have given a few with PW, YBY and RD, though only lasting 1-2 days), limited to professionals. An Uberization would consist in making longer workshops, say of 2-3 week duration, after which the attendees would be getting a piece of paper of sorts.<\/span><\/p>\n

From my experience, both students and lecturers are more sincere when they bypass institutions. And, as with other Uberizations, it would be much, much efficient economically.<\/p>\n

A full education would be a collection of such micro-diplomas, which can be done on top of a conventional one.<\/p>\n

Finally I would personally like to attend such workshops in disciplines outside my specialty. After my experience with Aramaic\/Syriac last summer, I have a list of subjects I would be hungry to learn *outside* university systems…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
