2. THE INTERNET – THE TOOL OF
EDUCATION
 Free education has never been so accessible. The
Web gives lifelong learners the tools to become
autodidacts, eschewing exorbitant tuition
and joining the ranks of other self-taught great
thinkers in history such as Albert Einstein,
Alexander Graham Bell, Paul Allen and Ernest
Hemingway.

3. THE BEGINNING
 In April 2001, Charles M. Vest, the MIT
President announced that the university would
make its materials for all its courses freely
available on the Internet
 In April 2006, UC Berkeley announced its plan to
put complete academic courses on Apple’s
iTunes U.
 In October 2007, the school launched UC
Berkeley on YouTube.

4. GOALS
Benjamin Hubbard the Manager of Webcast at
UC Berkeley:
«…The first is wanting students to have access to
materials.
The second is for cultivating a really great affinity
for a public
university that’s providing research and community
service.
The third is closely aligned with this opportunity to
provide
educational resources all over the world to those
from all walks

5. THE WEB OPENS THE WORLD
 The Web has unlocked the keys to a worldwide
virtual school, potentially leveling the playing
field for students around the world.

6. OPEN CULTURE
 The Open Education
Movement has been gaining
momentum since 2006.
 The same year Dr. Dan
Colman, launched Open
Culture, the greatest free
cultural and educational
media website .I’ve ever
come across.
 Almost 5 years old, Open
Culture is the largest
database of free cultural and
educational media in

7. TWO DIMESIONS OF «OPEN
CULTURE»
 First, it acts as a portal, collecting external links
so users are able to access materials directly
from the distributor, whether the media be on a
site, YouTube or iTunes.
 Second, it includes blog-style content with 2-3
posts a day of handpicked media bites like “The
Existential Star Wars: Sartre Meets Darth Vader.”

8. EDUCATION OUTSIDE OF
INSTITUTIONAL WALLS
 Khan Academy is an online
collection featuring over 2,100
educational videos
 Academic Earth is working its
way up to being the Hulu of
academic videos and courses.
 P2PU - education project that
organizes learning outside of
institutional walls and gives
learners recognition for their
achievements.”

9. EDUCATION OUTSIDE OF
INSTITUTIONAL WALLS
 Skillshare is a community
marketplace that enables
users to learn anything
from anyone.
 Scitable is a free science
social network with a peer-reviewed
on library built on
top of it. The network,
which launched in 2009, is
a product of the Nature
Publishing Group, one of
the largest, most
prestigious science
publishers in the world.

10. SKYPE’S ROLE
 Skype’s global platform and
massive user adoption makes
it one of the most influential
technologies in changing the
reach of education
 Skype can help to improve
literacy and education around
the globe
 Skype in the Classroom
can help like-minded
teachers collaborate on
projects and share resources.
 Skype can
connect children globally for
shared learning experiences

11. CAN THE INTERNET REPLACE
THE HIGHER EDUCATION
 “There’s a lot of debate right
now about whether or not
paying for a degree is worth it, a
particular problem facing
entrepreneurs”.
 “The education is basically
extremely overpriced. People
are not getting their money’s
worth, objectively, when you do
the math. There’s this sort of
psycho-social component to
people taking on these
enormous debts when they go
to college simply because that’s
what everybody’s doing”.

12. BUT WHAT DO THE ACADEMICS
HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS?
 “I think courses on the Internet are a
great way to continue learning and to
acquire new information and new
knowledge, but they only partially
address furthering education. An
education is more than just passively
listening to lectures.” -Dr. Dan
Colman, Editor of Open Culture
 “Replace? Oh no. The Internet is an
amazing tool. But it’s also a tool
that’s built on the capabilities of the
people who are using it. The Internet
alone won’t be able to replace
higher education…” - Benjamin
Hubbard, ETS, Manager of Webcast
at UC Berkeley

13. TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY FOR A
QUALITY EDUCATION?
 Much of it depends on
the job you want, but
then again it always
has. If you want to be a
fireman, you don’t need
to go to graduate
school. But if you want
to be an orthodontist,
please don’t just watch
YouTubes and practice
pulling out cavities on
your dog.

14. SUMMING UP
 It’s clear that the world is moving faster than it ever
has before. surely the foundations of learning must
change too and if we’re going to continue to evolve
as a species and as a culture, we’re long overdue
for an education revolution.
