Abstract
Nearly 150 ago, frustrated by how little American institutions of higher learning prepared students for the world of their day, Charles Eliot called for a revolution in higher education. As president of Harvard, he brought about many reforms that exist in our educational system today. We face similar challenges in the present day, with many questioning the value of a university degree. Stephanie Wright, head of the Mozilla Science Lab, will discuss why she believes we may be due for another revolution and how the growing culture of “open” can form a basis for that revolution.
