A Step Forward? Bertelsmann & Others Back $100 Million Venture Fund For Innovative Education

Just as (mobile) technology is bringing some exciting changes to the health industry, it's simultaneously over in the classroom trying to save education before it's too late. I'm not sure we're even close to "too late", but it's hard to ignore the fact that, like the health industry, the educational system (and I don't limit that to the U.S.) is broken. Millions of young people are entering a system that just isn't built to handle the diversity of learning styles -- or the speed of innovation. Peter Thiel is right: Higher education is in a bubble. I'm not sure dropping/stopping out is the always the best answer, but the point remains.
