This is Episode 15 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education.
Cardinal John Henry Newman said that “A University seems to be in its essence, a place for the communication and the circulation of thought, by means of personal intercourse, through a wide extent of country.” When we use the word University in the academic sense, we are technically shortening the phrase, universitas magistrorum et scholarium, meaning a “community of masters and scholars.”
In this episode, Scott and Joffre discuss Cardinal Henry Newman’s Idea of a University and how online education might be the best place to cultivate intentional academic communities for families and students amidst the demise of the modern educational system. In addition, they discuss not only the benefits but the pitfalls of online education and how to navigate this fairly new medium wisely and safely.
