14. 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."

The student experience in Coursera is that the course
starts on a given day and each week a student has
access 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, you
get to interact with the videoget to interact with the video.
There is rigorous meaningful assessments of different
kinds, not just multiple choice but real exercises with
real depthreal depth.
And there is a community of students that you get to
interact with to ask questions and have those questions
answered by your fellow students.answered by your fellow students.
So that you get both a better learning experience via

17. Integration physical & virtual campus
People often ask us whether universities are a thing
of the past, whether universities are going to die out,“
and I definitely do not think so.
There is something tremendous about getting people
t th i l h di it i t titogether in a place where serendipitous interactions
can happen.
Where you can have face-to-face mentoring betweenWhere you can have face-to-face mentoring between
an instructor and students, where students can talk
to each other, and create together, and learn to

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

Online education, then, can serve two goals.
“For students lucky enough to have access to great
teachers, blended learning can mean even better
outcomes at the same or lower cost.
And for the millions here and abroad who lack

learning can open doors that would otherwise
remain closed
