My own view:
We are entering an era --- which will last for a very long time --- in which all but the most affluent, elite students will piece together their college educations using:
- MOOCs
- Community college courses
- Life experience credits
- Testing out of college requirements
- and, finally, a year or two at a four-year institution to top it off
Colleges and universities will be unable to resist the pressure to accept credits earned from all of the four alternative sources listed above. Effects:
- Even fewer full-time tenured faculty at four year institutions
- The demise and/or merger of many colleges and universities
- Gradual reduction is aggregate student loan debt in the US from the $1 trillion now outstanding and concomitant reduction in average individual student and family debt for education
