Trends
in Educational Technology 2000
National
University 2000
a) A research paper on educational trends.
The
cost of operating a vast disconnected national educational
system is becoming uneconomical. Teachers are not
able to simultaneously educate 38 students in a small
classroom. Education needs to be more accessible,
less expensive, up to date, relevant, tailored to
fit, learner-centered, and market driven. Information
is zipping around the earth faster than ever before
and many institutions are in the fast lane. Why must
we hang on to these relics of the past, blackboards,
textbooks, lectures, classrooms, schedules and teacher
ratios?
