The Future
Today, and for the last century, education has been practised in segregated buildings
by carefully regimented and standardized classes of students led and instructed
by teachers working essentially alone.
In ten years, this model will be seen in many quarters to be obsolete, and a new model,
where education is practised in the community as a whole, by individuals studying
personal curricula at their own pace, guided and assisted by community facilitators,
online instructors and experts around the world.
The educational experience will be rich and diverse, supported by interesting
and engaging educational software, and enhanced by discussion and collaboration
with people from around the planet.
Some instructors will form personal and supportive relationships with their students,
acting as guides through the wealth of available material. Others will opt to
become masters of their domain, acting as experts and resources, serving not
only students but society as a whole.
