No More Teachers? No More Books?

November 23rd, 2009

This was the title of a recent Harvard discussion panel regarding higher education in a digital age.

In the classroom, the digital age is changing the way that people think, read, and learn in a university environment. The internet offers new opportunities for knowledge sharing and open access. However the debate discussed that universities, the physical building, will continue to exist. The internet is a knowledge source, a forum for discussion, even open debate at a worldwide level, yet the face to face human interaction and challenge that exists in higher education will be slow to be replaced.

I agree with the sentiment that the best future will be one in which the digital and the traditional coexist.
