Seth Godin has written a lot about education – Stop Stealing Dreams (TED talk and longer e-book) is a good place to start.
Then it’s worth checking out what he’s actually doing: the altMBA reverses the usual 90+ percent drop-out rates of most online courses, and the Akimbo workshops (including The Marketing Seminar, The Bootstrapper’s Workshop and The Freelancer’s Workshop) get rave reviews.
In this article on Medium Seth lays out some of the core principles of his approach.
Also check out the videos at the Akimbo Workshops link above – especially the one at the very bottom from Creative Mornings, where he sets out his thinking behind the model.
