Changing the Landscape of Higher Education - David M. Kirby, Huffington Post

Education is ever-changing, especially in a world with rapid technology advancement. As new technologies and methods become available, the way we teach and are taught must by necessity change as well. Core principles and basics of education remains, yet the method by which these are accomplished must by necessity adapt to meet the needs of students and the workforce. Education continues to evolve at a rapid pace because how we learn has importance. There’s never been only a single way to learn, and the educational system is reflecting that. MOOCs and other online courses are both examples of adapting education to suit the needs of the evolving modern student. Technology plays an important role in this, especially as education becomes more accessible to students regardless of their location or background. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-m-kirby/changing-the-landscape-of_b_13127826.html
