Kepler has been reinvented the higher education scene by offering young people pathways to access gainful employment, and create positive change within their communities.
This partnership combined Southern New Hampshire's University's online degree with in-person seminars, job readiness training and coaching.
Kepler operates an experimental university campus in Kigali, Rwanda that combines online courses with in-person facilitation and career training.
They employ no faculty, opting to use MOOCs and other online resources for expert-level content, while retaining teaching experts to support student learning.
According to its website, Kepler’s goal is “to create a global network of universities that deliver the skills that emerging economies need for a price that [its] students can afford.”[7] In addition to Kepler’s direct work as a university program, they promote the secondary aim of creating a “university in a box.” All of their data is being provided as open source content in order to encourage other institutions to adopt aspects of Kepler’s model in order to reduce the cost and increase the quality of current higher education options.
