I am part of the generation of college graduates who will spend 10 or more years paying off student loan debt. The cost of college is a hot topic on this website, not just because I’m living it but also because technology could be the key to breaking the vicious cycle of rising costs and growing debt. We’ve covered the topic many times before, but these three videos really bring home just how big this problem is.

But dwelling on the problem does no good, which is why we also write about how some schools are cutting costs by implementing smart technology, flipping the classroom and embracing digital textbooks.

How is technology being used to cut costs in higher education without diminishing the learning experience for students? We welcome your input.
