Alvin,
I think it is ridiculous that we continue to send children to secondary and university campuses for "education" , we still are doing like it was done in the horse and buggy days of the old west. The internet and open source are prime examples of a way to reduce, expenses and add value to the education proposition for most students. Not all disciplines of education could be handled this way but the majority could be. 
Including industry participation even furthers the value and assures the industries qualified potential employees,
Just my opinion of course,
