I love this statement by Koller:
"We should spend less time at universities filling our students' minds with content by lecturing at them, and more time igniting their creativity … by actually talking with them."
A few major points made in her presentation:
1. Online methods of course delivery are cost effective in delivering high quality educational experiences to millions around the world that otherwise would not have access to such education.
2. Online methods of education, when used appropriately, can be a lot more effective than the traditional lecture methods.
3. Online learning can teach more people more effectively with far fewer faculty and lower infrastructure costs.
4. We can use what we learn from online education to improve how we teach and how we learn by using a data-driven approach.
But she says all this in a more interesting and arresting way than I can, so take a few minutes to watch her video below.
When you've finished watching it, you may asking yourself this question (as I did):
Why do so many colleges and college faculty hesitate to experiment with and exploit this electronic revolution in education?

It may take a while for some universities to adapt an online model since change can be hard to adjust to in the beginning. However, many colleges do offer some type of online programs.
