Most revolutions are only obvious in retrospect. Sure, if you were in the Russian revolution I think you would have known about it; ditto the French. But the industrial revolution, the scientific revolution, the Copernican revolution (whose revolutionary view about the earth revolving about the sun is said to have led to this usage of the word “revolution”) – they all would have been a bit tougher to pick at the time. So it’s no wonder there is dissension about whether online technology is indeed driving a revolution in education. With the revolution in education, it will be possible to get a perfectly good education entirely online at a low price. When we look back on this period from a vantage point of well into the future in technological time, say 10 years, I think we’ll say we lived in the time of revolution.
