Not only is more of the world’s population gaining access to digital platforms on a daily basis, the quality of online learning is improving rapidly.In 15 years the material on offer will be “wildly better” than anything available today, and all available through phones and tablets. “Online learning will dramatically improve education in developing countries,” explained Gates. “It makes it easier for students and teachers to connect.” “We are not yet at the point of providing the world’s best teacher, who can see when you’re confused and set the right pace for you, but 15 years ago we were just sticking videos online and claiming that was the solution. “It won’t replace face-to-face social contact, but it will play a huge role in helping students catch up and get ahead, as well as overcoming any limitations related to class size.”
