Learning how to learn is critical for everyone. Most of us have to deal with a changing world and to learn how to manage tons of new information.

Focused and Diffuse Mode
Focused and diffuse modes provide two models for how we develop, elaborate, deepen and broaden connections. Both methods are important.

Are online books as good as physical books in terms of reading?
Reading on paper (physical books) is slightly better than online, but it comes down to personal preferences. In most cases, students have a choice.
The Cost Disparity
Online course development is a relatively new learning technique, and regular brick and mortar universities did not traditionally have any resources allocated in their operating budget.
Over time, this cost disparity may fade away as online learning becomes a regular part of the budget, and initial capital costs are normalized.
