Gates: U.S. ed has no choice but to improve - eSchool News
"The world of education is the sector of the economy so far the least changed by technology," Gates said. "Ten years from now, that won't be the case, and these online lectures are the cutting edge of that." Gates, 51, talked of the importance of improving the quality, quantity, and searchability of online lectures, which he noted his own children have used. Community colleges and other financially strapped schools might find online lectures to be the most cost-effective way to teach introductory courses such as Physics 101, Gates said. The savings could then be spent on student-oriented discussions and lab sessions.
