Self Schooling the Book: Brain Science, MOOCs, and the Reviving Cash Value of the Liberal Arts

By James Bailey

Big Data and machine learning have penetrated every bit of 21st century society -- except the K-12 curriculum. If students want to know what is going on, they have to learn on their own. And they can. Self Schooling the Book, together with its Companion App, show the way.Self Schooling the Book explains why the old "STEM" habits of thought are all wrong for life in the 21st century and how to use free online courses (MOOCs) to develop the habits students now need. The Self Schooling Companion App then demonstrates the amazing new nonnumeric algorithms, like the neural networks that enable deep learning, that have largely replaced algebra and calculus in the sciences of life. They give us whole new insights into what it means to be alive.
