Internet is changing everything in our life. Now, everything we want to know, we can find any information at our fingertip. The changes are happening faster than ever. That also means things we learned and our skills are becoming outdated faster than ever. In future, 4 years learning period in University will be too long to equip students with skills required by the market out there. By the time they graduated, their skills will be more or less outdated.
On the other hand, we can learn almost anything in internet at our fingertip with interactive multimedia such as video, slides, interactive tutorials, etc on any subjects in Youtube, iTune, Vimeo, eBooks, Learnign app on smart devices, etc. Obviously, the habits of self-study and adoption play more and more important roles for our survival or to keep ourself useful in society.
It starts happening now that we can learn things from the best teachers in the world in anywhere at any time, of course FREE EDUCATION too.
