Interesting article. Gotta like the term edupunks.

Very inspiring article, I like the backstory on WGU especially.

Obviously, there is a market opportunity here, and it will be interesting to watch how the notion of education changes over the next ten or so years. Almost makes me want to chase an Ed.D degree and become an Edupunk myself.
