Coursera is a social
entrepreneurship start-up that developed an online platform to bring university
classes to anyone with a computer. Over
two million people have signed up to take a class from schools like Princeton,
Stanford, Columbia, and other highly ranked universities. This is great for the
college level, but what about high school? Israeli high school student must
pass a matriculation exam covering topics from the Second Temple to World War
II. One Israeli nonprofit company, “Making History” is using Facebook’s
timeline feature to make history more interactive. This company decided to turn
Facebook into an educational tool and exam prep course. What are your thoughts?
Will Facebook ever become more than social media, and can it teach people in an
impactful way?
