Textbooks. Lecture hails. Over the next decade, technology may sweep away some of the most basic aspects of a university education and lead in a flood of innovations and changes. Look for online classes that let students learn at their own pace, drawing on materials from schools across the country - not just a single professor and one textbook.
All those changes probably won’t make a university education cheaper - alas --but they will likely change our perceptions about how we value it. Traditionally, schools have been judged by how many prospective students they turn away,not by how many competent graduates they put out.
“ Those are status rankings,driven by exclusivity and preservation of an old model, says Michael Crow, the president of Arizona State University. But as new technologies come into the classroom, it will be easier to measure what students actually learn. That will 4<make universities more accountable for what they produce, “ Dr. Crow says.
In the near future, instead of classrooms, professors will run their courses over digital platforms capable of collecting data on each students progress. These platforms were initially developed for massive open online courses, or MOOCs. However, universities are now folding these platforms back into their traditional classes because they make it easier to share content, host discussions and keep track of student work. A professor might still “teach” class, but most of the interaction will happen online. If professors and students do meet in a physical classroom, it will be to review material, work through problems or work on discussion topics. Scenes like John Houseman lecturing to a classroom full of students will be a thing of the past.
These platforms are constantly improving. Soon, they will be able to monitor which students are spending 15 minutes on a maths problem and which ones work hard for an hour. This can raise red flags for professors (and their teaching assistants) about who might need extra help. As Rovy Brannon, associate dean at the University of Wisconsin-Extension, says, “The course platform will get to know you far better than your professor does today.
