Rep. Miller at Brookings Institute

George Miller, top Democrat on the Education and Workforce Committee, spoke on a panel of higher education experts this morning in Washington, hosted by the Brookings Institution and Northeastern University.  The panel tackled the important but difficult issue of innovation in higher education and the impact new approaches to higher education are having on the traditional university model.  Rep. Miller said innovations such as Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are important to help engage learners of all types and all backgrounds in higher education and he called for continued innovation in all levels of education to ensure our economy and our country remains strong.
