Classroom of the Future Is Virtually Anywhere - JOSEPH BERGER, New York Times
The university classroom of the future is in Janet Duck’s dining room on East Chocolate Avenue here. There is no blackboard and no lectern, and, most glaringly, no students. Dr. Duck teaches her classes in Pennsylvania State University’s master’s program in business administration by sitting for several hours each day in jeans and shag-lined slippers at her dining table, which in soccer mom fashion is cluttered with crayon sketches by her 6-year-old Elijah and shoulder pads for her 9-year-old Olivia’s Halloween costume.... The instructional software allows her 54 students to log on from almost anywhere at any time and post remarkably extended responses, the equivalent of a blog about the course.
Comments:
There will always be a need for the classroom, but you are right tele-classes will become the norm overtime.
You have write - in 2007 ...We sleep alone, we learn alone, we work alone....we die alone.. NOT good.
