Re: [MTC Global] What Is the Future of Higher Education?

Technology is the two edged sword, it can be used for our safety or destruction. Technology is an objective tool and not abstract one like education.

It is more of a Technology Solution chasing the problem ,rather than the other way round. Most of the Educators are yet to figure out how to mingle technology with teaching
so that students are benefited.

Don't you feel that too much of technology in education has destroyed its human face whereas prime task of the education is human building?

Anant Agarwal, CEO of edX

Reason for despair: I am in the field of higher education, and I am continually reminded of how challenging it is to transform this world through technology. While we've seen technology revolutionizing so much of the world around us, and providing so much access to everything from entertainment to communication, the same cannot be said of quality education. Education is a basic human right, but has remained relatively resistant to technology, and continues to be either of poor quality, or simply out of reach for so very many people around the world.

Reason for hope: The progress we've begun to see in technology-enabled learning gives me reason to hope. Online learning has the potential to revolutionize education in both quality and scale, enabling anyone with an Internet connection and a will to learn access to an education. Experiments with MOOCs have demonstrated that quality education can be offered to millions of students worldwide at near-zero marginal cost. Recently, barriers to university credit for MOOCs have also begun to come down, giving me tremendous hope that soon people will be able to get an education and also a meaningful credential to showcase their work.

Education has also been recognized as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations, so I'm hopeful that nations will now see a reason to invest more heavily in education.
