Imagine 100 randomly selected people. 50 are put in a University Shakespeare class. Attendance marked, reading assigned, reports written, grades given. The other 50 were given the same amount of time to explore Shakespeare on their own. Who do you honestly think learns more?

I agree, there's one more thing - the network and peer to peer learning. I have had more MOOCs than I can remember. most will give you a broad picture but no one gives details. it's about seeing your friends use tabs rather than 4 space.

In addition to the just-doing-the-damn-homework factor, I also tend to think a big part of the difference is *having a teacher to ask questions to.* (And classmates to work on the pests with.) So much of effective learning is dialogic.

In addition to having the discipline and the right content, the learner needs to know good study techniques. The way the content or course is structured and delivered is highly influential as well.

This has been a recent realization of mine. Individuals that are internally motivated don’t need a ton of external incentives to drive them through education, however many individuals do. For these, we need to do two things: boost their motivation and decrease the difficulty.

Classic education prepare future workers to follow orders, show up on time, meet deadlines and work in teams. College also gives people credentials and network - the more pricey the better. Someone with these credentials will have more doors opened than a self learner.

Employers want to maximize reward while minimizing risk and would rely on previous “validation stickers” that candidates have in their foreheads. Self learner will have to be either A+ or crack way more walls to have the same level of opportunities.

This strikes me as the Truth of the promised democratization of learning. Also, don't neglect school as a social process.
