1. Claim and quote: Selingo claims that the world of online learning is expanding and has become a great option for many students. “Perhaps the future of higher education sits somewhere between the physical and the digital.” (Selingo, 2018)
2. Evidence and quote: Selingo provides an example of a credible online-degree provider that is already being offered at many popular universities. “A recent move by the online-degree provider 2U exemplifies this hybrid strategy. The company partnered with WeWork, the co-working firm, to let 2U students enrolled in its programs at universities, such as Georgetown and USC, to use space at any WeWork location to take tests or meet with study groups.” (Selingo, 2018)
3. Strategy and description/quote: “Many of our students have young families,” said Chip Paucek, the CEO and co-founder of 2U. “They can’t pick up and move to a campus, yet often need the facilities of one.” (Selingo, 2018) He uses the strategy, exemplification in this quote because he is providing a case in point made by Chip Paucek, the CEO and co-founder of 2U, who is a very credible source. Selingo is also strategically using pathos here to express the experience of parenthood that many students have encountered, making it emotionally relatable.
4. Audience: I believe that Selingo is targeting campuses and companies to come to an understanding to blend digital and physical ways of learning.
5. Effective?: I believe he was strong with his argument and gave good credible evidence and examples. I think it’s effective in telling the inevitable reality of online learning becoming popular and how we can see a new perspective on campus learning and companies expectations and blend them together so everyone can have access to education.
