'McEducation' an inevitable outcome of air travel, Internet Dubai - Jay B. Hilotin
"McEducation" sounds like something you would get at a fast food outlet. It is in fact the watchword created to describe a new wave in international education, and a future powered by the Internet and ever-increasing air travel. Alison Hollier, regional manager of Far East Consultants, with offices at Dubai's Knowledge Village, said that learning-on-demand will inevitably reach more students in the farthest corners of the world at the speed of digital lines. "Distance education makes it more affordable to spread world-class training by bringing down the cost," she said. "One unbeatable advantage is that students don't have to quit from work or leave the familiarity of home to pursue higher learning. It is also a good solution in cultures where inter-mingling between opposite sexes is not encouraged."
