Online education is classic disruption.

In-person education is too expensive, overserves a huge percentage of students, and aspects of online education are already better than the in-person experience.
Things that are already better:

∙ Ease of creating small group discussion
∙ Geographic diversity
∙ No commuting
∙ More investment in lectures
∙ Easy to message people 1-on-1
∙ Community forums to preserve knowledge

(h/t @will_mannon and @fortelabs)
