I don't really agree with you that it's a marketing problem, but I don't think technology is the answer, either.

Looking at the Digital Bridge Academy's website, it just looks like another way to hold a student's hand.

Community colleges are awesome and serve many much-needed education niches in the U.S. but pushing people through an education that they don't value isn't going to create strong workers, or an educated populace, but simply drive up the minimum education requirements for any job.

Yeah, what I really mean is that it's a value system/society/psychology problem. I don't think slick ads for calculus or PSA's will help at all.

We homeschool our children, and rather than ask them to do workbooks, we study grammar and math, and they get educated by being around us, because we put subtle psychological pressure on them to know what we know.

I went to CC, and David is spot on about the eclectic collection of students. I lived in a mountain/resort community, so the CC attracted great instructors, but they still could have done more by having higher expectations.
