Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.
Online education, then, can serve two goals. For students lucky enough to have access to great teachers, blended learning can mean even better outcomes at the same or lower cost. And for the millions here and abroad who lack access to good, in-person education, online learning can open doors that would otherwise remain closed.
The advent of interactive communications has created an inflection point where it's economical to provide education differently than in the past.
Universities won't survive. The future is outside the traditional campus, outside the traditional classroom. Distance learning is coming on fast
Drucker probably underestimated the importance of both the credentialing role of universities.
New media's not very old, hence the word new, so we don't know a lot of things about new media and by the time you've taught it it's probably out of date. I think it's much more beneficial to have an experiential lesson versus a classroom lesson in new media.
You cannot make thousands of universities or hundreds of thousands of professors, but with technology and the Internet you can have great courses and make a digital university.
The online education space, especially in higher education, is ripe for disruption.
Education should not be about building more schools and maintaining a system that dates back to the Industrial Revolution. We can achieve so much more, at unmatched scale with software and interactive learning.
There's no question in my mind of the value in technology in fueling young minds. Like any other tool, if you simply throw it in the classroom and don't consider how best to take advantage of that tool, and you try the old ways with a new piece of technology on the desk, it's no panacea.
The Internet will save higher education, but it may kill your alma mater.
Online is ridiculous. Places like Ohio State bring people here together, and students teach each other.
We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.
New media and mobile entertainment are revolutionizing the way people learn about the world.
By 2025, we can expect the world to be completely digital. Paper books will be a thing of the past. Education will be delivered through analytics-based assessment tools and adaptive learning platforms.
For 300 years, higher education was not disruptable because there was no technological core.
I've always believed that you need to find interactive applications on the Internet.
One very clear memory I have of college is that I never learned anything in the big lectures. I have a feeling I'd have done even worse if they'd been on a laptop screen.
I think you could make a completely Virtual Centre, though I have a general feeling, and maybe because I am getting very old, that you still need face to face.
I would say that, in the future, the book will be reserved for things that function best as a book. So, if I need a textbook that's going to be out of date because of new technological inventions, you're better off having it where you can download the supplements or the update.
I'm starting a virtual school for the world, teaching things the way I wanted to be taught.
