What your friends from Stanford and MIT

Denis Dovgopoly: I'll back you up a bit. I'm working quite closely with the guys from Stanford and MIT, who are working on this topic. They said that unless a new way of teaching people higher education is invented, higher education will formally be available to everyone, because it will all be in the public domain, but in fact it will be available to those who are motivated to take courses at home rather than in class. According to recent studies, no more than 15% of people completed the courses that Stanford and MIT shared in the form of video lectures. And this is not related to the complexity of the material, it is related to the fact that when you go to class, where there is group learning...

Alexander Olshansky: I will stand up for the poor students – it is not about motivation. I encountered this at the institute and I have big problems with it myself. There are different types of people and many people luxembourg number data need a teacher not because they have no motivation, but because their brain is designed that way. I am just one of these people, I need someone to tell me. I can read the same page 24 times and not understand it until someone tells it to me.

are right about is that the formal availability of education says absolutely nothing about the quality of this higher education. In general, it seems to me that there will be some kind of crisis in this place now. On the one hand, the quality of higher education is declining sharply, and in connection with this, its value in the eyes of society will decrease, but on the other hand, the value of real education (say, super-higher) will grow immeasurably. There is a huge field for activity here. By the way, this is the second thing I would definitely invest money in. But I would under no circumstances invest in posting a university course online or in a testing system. I would invest only if a person came and said: "I am a teacher and I came up with a new method, I know how to teach a person mathematics remotely." There is a colossal vacuum here. What is interesting is that, unlike the production of Google Glass, this does not require the infrastructure of Silicon Valley, you do not need to be Google for this. And it is possible that an invention in this area will be made in India, China or Ukraine. It's worth digging in this direction.
