In an interview with The Verge, Gates pointed to the highly successful Khan Academy — which doesn’t consider itself a MOOC, but operates similarly to one — as a sign of how far the technology of remote education has come, from an age when “we were just sticking cameras in front of people and putting them online.” In 15 years, he speculates, “that type of material will be wildly better than even the best is today, and it will be available through phones and tablets in a free form to anyone that’s got that internet connection.” But right now, which students are really benefiting from MOOCs and the boom in online education? And will these services reach those who need education most?
