Hello. Great response. I agree that that it's the rigidty of structure that sort of acts as means to an end in the educational process. There is only so much structure within the vastness of the internet in terms of how applicable it is to academia. Case in point...There is a Michelle Phan make-up tutorial in the related videos of your reply. I just wish there was some way of regulating the economics of academia to benefit those who learn better with alternative applications.
You say the information on the internet isn't organized? Is a spider web organized? Are branches on a tree organized? I've learned more online in 3 years that I did in the entirty of highschool and college combined. It's all based on a person's CURIOSITY and their own inner organization skills and logic parameters. If people need to be spoon fed neet organized information to "get it", then they won't amount to anything anyways. Did Nikola Tesla need schooling? No. Did Edison? Yes. I rest my case
It's funny that you claim that you learn so much on the Internet, as Nikola Tesla most definitely attended school - at the Austrian Polytechnic in Gratz, at about ~1875.
Also, the whole point of college is to expand those organizational skills and scope for logical processing. If you didn't do this, you went to a crappy college.
It's mostly the seeming fact that people AREN'T motivated to learn by themselves - and its very hard to differentiate the most important info on a subject from the least. not only that, it's hard to teach yourself stuff. Also, it's a bad idea I think to seclude ourselves in our houses any longer. if anything, school is at LEAST good for learning how to interact socially.
Very true on all your points-I've been lucky enough to know many people that are self-motivated, and discerning enough to know what they want to learn.
Your point about social interaction hasn't really been touched on much, from what I've seen and it's a good point. I think ideally, such a system that utilizes the informational qualities of the internet would also have ways to interact with your fellow students. However, here's where we get back to my point about lack of development.
What ensures that the profs know the field that I want to be a part of? Wouldn't an apprentice type system be better? Or maybe an online community where I have access to those CURRENTLY working in the said field? Just another thought.
Firstly Sir, There are online Universities and Structured programs that are successful. That simply don't require a single mother to quit work and pay 100,000 dollars to learn. As just a simple example.
Secondly, the motivation would come from creating bench marks and equivalence based on your educational experience and actual acquired knowledge. Instead of based on a piece of paper that proves you sat through x amount of classes and paid x amount of dollars.
The jobs would go to the people who know how to effectively complete the task. Not to those who have a degree in sitting in a class learning facts about said job.
He's also not saying people should simply drop out and spend endless hours on Wiki, but rather that they should embrace and evolve with the social changes.
He's not offering the solution by any means but rather bringing light to a very serious problem.
I think you make a valid point. There has to be a step in between the current system and the one of the information age to make things go more smoothely.
In the future i'm not sure if people will just be limited to the internet for masses of free information, I think potentially the worlds creative society can find a way to put an organised form information together and make it easily accessible for everyone... it's difficult to understand but I think education and technology can make good progress... I sort of get what Dan's saying but I don't completely agree =3
I agree completely (maybe that wasn't clear in the video), but I don't the internet has yet evolved enough to be able to accommodate that kind of interactivity.
@whensuddenlyaMANKEY I have listened through again, and you did, I agree and the education system can embrace this and move to be more engaging to students by using the internet.
Ignore the haters brah, they are people on the other side.

I partially agree, I feel the way of teaching needs to move to be interactive with the learner, and the internet is a perfect way to do this.
