Flip Teaching In 2009, Daphne Koller realized that the way she and other

professors on Stanford University campus were teaching their students was backwardstheir students was backwards.

«I would walk into class, deliver the same lecture, tell the same stories, again and again, and never have a chance to , g g ,engage with my students in a meaningful way.»

«Why don't I just pre-record the lecture, add interactive elements to make it less boring, and come to class to actually talk to my students?»

S D h K ll b ffl di h l t ti t So, Daphne Koller began offloading her lecture time to video so she could spend more time interacting with students in class, a method now widely referred to as the "flipped classroom."

Coursera MOOCThe student experience in Coursera is that the coursestarts on a given day and each week a student hasaccess to numerous pieces

“access to numerous pieces.One piece is video lecture, and it’s interactive videos,you don’t sit there for an hour just watching video, youget to interact with the videoget to interact with the video.There is rigorous meaningful assessments of differentkinds, not just multiple choice but real exercises withreal depthreal depth.And there is a community of students that you get tointeract with to ask questions and have those questionsanswered by your fellow students.answered by your fellow students.So that you get both a better learning experience viapeer teaching as well as a social experience, where youfeel like there is a community of learners surroundingy gthis intellectual activity.

Integration physical & virtual campusPeople often ask us whether universities are a thingof the past, whether universities are going to die out,“and I definitely do not think so.

There is something tremendous about getting peoplet th i l h di it i t titogether in a place where serendipitous interactionscan happen.

Where you can have face-to-face mentoring betweenWhere you can have face-to-face mentoring betweenan instructor and students, where students can talkto each other, and create together, and learn tod b t iddebate ideas.

So this on-campus physical experience at the momenthas no virtual substitute that is equally effective ”has no virtual substitute that is equally effective.

Online education, then, can serve two goals.“For students lucky enough to have access to greatteachers, blended learning can mean even betteroutcomes at the same or lower cost.

And for the millions here and abroad who lackd i d i liaccess to good, in-person education, online

learning can open doors that would otherwiseremain closed ”remain closed.

MOOCs: a great boon to womenMOOCs: a great boon to women1. “The economic arguments that keep some women out

of MBA programs do not apply to MOOCs For women of MBA programs do not apply to MOOCs. For women who choose to prioritize family, have flexibility in their careers, or take any extended breaks from working, a MOOC-based education makes more sense than a traditional degree program.”

2 “For women who do intend to apply to B-school 2. For women who do intend to apply to B-school, taking a few MOOCs can be a great way to build confidence prior to enrolling.”

Revolutions destroy the perfect and bl th i ibl enable the impossible.

“The move from pre-printing press to post-printing press is a ti t iti i hi t f th ld i t f one-time transition in history of the world, in terms of

education. Online education is going to be like that as well.”

Seth Godin

“One of the revolutions that we’re going to see is where less and less of education is about a conveyer of content, because that is going to be a commodity, and hopefully one that's going to be going to be a commodity, and hopefully one that s going to be available to everyone around the world.”

Jose Ferreira

“And a lot more of what we think of as education is going to go back to its original roots of teaching. Where the instructor actually engages in a dialogue with the students and helps them d l h k k ll bl l k ll f h develop thinking skills, problem solving skills, passion for the discipline.”
