The Future of Teaching Eric S. Rabkin |
| Teaching is changing in a world of MOOCs, distance learning, and a growing number of tools that facilitate new kinds of learning. Some have forecast the end of the university as we know it, while others see these new tools as an opportunity to extend the reach and influence of elite institutions. What will teaching look like in the years ahead? How will online learning -- in MOOCs or other distance learning courses -- challenge us to change the ways we teach? Let us examine the changing landscape of teaching in higher education, looking at the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of new kinds of teaching and considering what they mean for those who teach in institutions of higher learning. |
