Online learning will result in a revolution in the provision of higher education, it has been said. Writing for the Wall Street Journal, interim chief executive officer of Education Sector John Chubb and professor of political science at Stanford University Terry Moe, who were the joint authors of the book Liberating Learning: Technology, Politics and the Future of American Education, argued the US and the international community are in the “early stages of a historic transformation” in education.. “The coming revolution is essentially about finding a new balance in the way education is organised – a balance in which students still go to school and have face-to-face interactions within a community of scholars, but also do a portion of their work online,” they declared. E-learning will affect the settings and habits of schools and school systems, the way in which students learn and the methods tutors use to teach, they declared.
