Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is FacultyRow? 

FacultyRow is a private, invitation only, network of accomplished academics and educators from different parts of the globe. Our platform allows qualified individuals the ability to connect and collaborate with like minded peers.

The FacultyRow team takes time each day to educate its community. This is done by broadcasting and posting relevant breaking news, articles, research, and videos. We encourage FacultyRow members to "Weigh in" on current events and breaking news.

Why Should I join? 

Faculty Row is committed to providing tools, resources, and most importantly, the network that fosters and promotes positive change in education. We find ourselves at the bleeding edge of this change and in the vanguard as we expose weakness in the old models of education, the mounting student debt, and work to employ disruptive technologies. Our mission is to advocate for the democratization of education and knowledge everywhere and to completely revolutionize how we learn.

What is happening in Higher Ed?

It is 2013 - There are many education based experiments taking place around the globe. These experiments are focused on technologies that will make teaching and learning as efficient and affordable as possible. The FacultyRow team encourages leading academics and educators to focus on their personal brand.

There are still many unknown variables of how traditional education evolves. We continually try and predict them, however it is extremely difficult to do. We do know that smart phones and tablets, will continue to play a key in the globalization of education.

A few examples of common "experiments" with affordable or free education:

EDx (an extension of the expired MITx)  

TED Ed (an extension of TED Talks)

Sal Khan's, Khan Academy 

Sebastian Thrun's,Udacity 

Daphne Koller & Andrew Ng's, Coursera
