The Future of College
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лис 2018
- It’s hard to imagine a future for college that isn’t touched by the ongoing digital revolution. But the disruption coming to higher education may not be what we expect. On-line courses may well transform how universities deliver knowledge, but economists say digital learning isn’t likely to replace universities entirely.
In a world where technology is upending jobs and industries at an ever-faster pace, graduates may need to retrain and learn new skills long after they’ve received their diplomas. This could mean colleges may become more necessary than ever, but only if they rethink the time spent there as a single stage of life.
That’s why institutions like Georgia Tech are betting on a future where schools welcome back students throughout their careers, helping them stay competitive in a job market that’s transforming faster all the time.

Education is free. Credentials are expensive.
You're right, Dave. This ongoing conversation should include the increasing price tag for higher ed and the burden of the student loan systems.
Until we can digitize credentials too..
Perfectly articulated. Realistically, college is a relic that is preserved by companies requirements for a 4 year degree. If the employment market was meritocratic, most bloated colleges with their legions of tenured administration staff would disappear overnight. The only reason I pay tuition is because I get a piece of paper. Everything I learned in college I essentially taught myself anyway from the book. The teachers never helped me and most of the diversity admits slide by with a C anyway and end up plaguing the job markets, making the working world an eroding hellscape of incompetence.
Without the credentials, it is impossible to find a job
@@jiashengfan9039 But there should be other paths, other ways to signal competence and skills
Undergraduate degrees need to be completely overhauled. Too many unnecessary classes and too much wasted time.
I agree, I could've finished my undergraduate in 2 years if it weren't for general education courses.
That is an interesting idea. Academia outside the USA, in Great Britain and Germany for example, do end general education classes earlier in a student's curriculum. This does force students to choose what they want for their professional studies at a younger age.
It took me 3 semesters at college before I took a single class associated with my major. Was a total waste of time
A lot of courses are unfortunately added into the curriculum for political reasons
@@Qznews The role of primary and secondary education should help young people find their path. Why are so many high school students bored in all their classes? Because it's all a chore. No interests. If they knew what they wanted to do in high school higher education wouldn't be a waste of time and money.
What I have learn is that pretty much, universities are becoming like doctors, they just want you to come every six months for check ups.
Ha! Eeesh, that's an interesting analogy.
Oof
More like dentists. They want your money even if your teeth are in perfect condition.
@@artman7780 That's the old way of college, he is describing the new way
at least the university's won't get you hooked on prescription drugs
I hate this stat about people not finishing their online courses. I admit that I have probably finished 4% of online courses I have take. This does not mean that I haven't gained a ton from learning online. Excluding mathematics, I have probably learned more online during my computer science degree than I have in a classroom. The reason for this deflated figure is because these courses are so accessible that I can enroll in them for only the information I need. Furthermore, if I find that a course is either not useful or poorly taught, I stop and find another one. Unfortunately, I can't do this in my university courses.
Covid-19: "hold my beer" I'll make everybody take online classes
these videos are actually extremely well done, especially for a relatively small channel. nice vid!
Thanks!
Quartz (qz.com) is a very large media outlet. They get 22 million page visits a month. They might not have a huge UA-cam presence, but that's like saying PewDiePie has a small Tumblr presence; it isn't his primary outlet.
@@petercarioscia9189 yup. Exactly. Kinda funny to call Quartz a "small" channel, considering their output elsewhere. I absolutely love their news app!
@@petercarioscia9189 oh shoot i gotta check that out, thanks
Exactly my thoughts! Was wondering why this channel hasn't blown up yet!
So there was a time when we got into the college and after finishing we got a job as planned but now, not anymore.
That seems to be the trend, Victoria, for sure. But also, it is interesting how that has not been the norm for as long as we think, right?
@@Qznews I guess it's a wishful thinking
The future of college - it seems- is that education should be ongoing. Sure, pursue a degree and get a job, but also be ready to be flexible over time to keep learning and adding skills as industries change and evolve. As for gathering information on the internet, this is a good option for those who are autodidact. Perhaps, sometimes it is best to get training directly from accredited institutions or experts. What do you think @Aniket Sahu?
@Quartz But, you need a job to get a job. I heard most employers care mostly about work experience in the field, not the GPA you get at college. That means the best place to learn the required work skills is by working in industry, not studying at college. I also know that 90 percent of what is taught in college is not useful for real jobs. That’s why a lot of college students are doing internships in addition to college as college doesn’t really teach the required job skills.
@Quartz If colleges focused on useful practical knowledge instead of rot memorization of theory before exams, students would have no reason to go for internships to get the required experience, and everybody would stand to benefit.
The subscription or member model is where you get to come back for free or reduced rates is something worth exploring.
Mitchell. Expantiate
My question is of the richest and brightest minds ever lived, most of what they learn't is self-knowledge, not from swatting and regurgitating the same thing for a mere test and forgetting it seconds after the test.
While this can work in some fields like Tech, other fields this model would not work. For example, the field of surgery would not fit. Do not want random people with no education cutting into other people with no guidance or supervision!!
@@Ruffles2012 then create some test, qualify them
@@Ruffles2012 So? In Europe people skip regular college and immediately go into medical school. It works for them. Yeah, for certain fields like surgery people should have to go to school, but you shouldn't need a degree just to be a receptionist or secretary, etc.
@@jonettheonly I like Europe's model of school but that is exactly my point. Some jobs don't need schooling while other jobs should be illegal to perform without a degree (like being a medical professional). My point was that not ALL jobs should require no education.
A lot said, but not much done.
agree.
in my opinion we need both. Not just one. Recording of the physical along with recording of topics that are taught in classes. Teacher shares their insight in physical classes which are invaluable.
Stuck in online university and don’t really learn much tbh because of covid 19 idk why but my med schools is putting more priorities on assignments compared to learning
This is why I'm so happy when I saw " age 18 -50+" in the college or university requirement
Oh, interesting, where was that, Gen Kouzenmai?
@@Qznews In China, I saw that couple days ago while I was checking uni admissions. I think it was Beijing language university, and there is an uni didn't even mention anything about age, Tsinghua University.
That's is interesting that age range was highlighted (and so expansive). It makes sense in China and so many other places to think about older populations. Thank you for the insight.
@@Qznews make a video about it guys 👊
3:52 is she saying college is more essential than ever because more and more jobs require the knowledge one acquires in college or because more and more jobs just need to know you have a degree?
Okay, this was helpful.
Stop trying to use technology to allow the human race to continue alienating everyone from each other. Colleges and universities allow people to talk face to face and online schooling will only make working and making connections a lot harder for people in the future.
Cherise Diamond I said this was helpful. I never mentioned I’ll use any of their methods What are you talking about, friend? 🙂
okay now this is epic
We are not "Georgia Tech University." We are "Georgia Tech" (full stop) or "Georgia Institute of Technology."
Really enjoyed this. I find education often gets missed out on the debates about where technology is heading next. Turning my subject into an online youtube course has been an eyeopener in the possibilities for the future.
The biggest problem with online education is that public and established physical universities have the edge. To be accredited and allow your students access to financial aid and PELL grants, 50% of your classes have to have a physical class. There is no 'pre-accreditation' for online schools, you need millions of extra dollars to give smart students free school to become accredited (you need smart students so you get good hiring percentages, needed to become accredited.) Law and Medicine, Forget it! The US doesn't allow it. You'd need better lobbyists than Uber (I couldn't start a nationwide taxi service that rarely buys taxi medallions, but they did it.) I could start a school that charges community college rates for all the way up to doctoral classes, pay teachers far more than they get, create better opportunities for students than most schools; and still become a billionaire (but I'd need capital and lobbyists.) The only thing the school would not compete with major universities would be research, that's where a lot of your tuition goes; a research project you get nothing from (you can't even go in the room if you're not one of the researchers.) I wrote a 27 page business model (I don't waste words) before finding out how hard it would be to get access to PELL grants (which basically let the student go to school free if it's community college prices, they may even get some left over.)
Why are there no standard, widely accepted alternatives to university education? Why does the university model have monopoly status in the United States (and probably elsewhere, especially in the Western world)? And why are instruction and certification so often inextricably linked? Why aren't there institutions that specialize in either teaching or accreditation but not both?
This series is GOLD and its FREE. Thank you Quartz
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
I love this channel sooo much that if given the chance, will be soooooo happy to contribute in any way..
Like this video just explained everything that am doing right now,the thing that people around me just don't get please share this video guys...am 24 with a bachelor's of science in accounting, I actually go to work to save up for Georgia tech $ 9000 masters programme for analytics at the same time pursuing another certificate for data science edx Micromasters MIT to get a pHD in social science at the same time learning coding with CS50...I live in Kenya and everyone is just confused about this plan,but I keep telling them the future lies in the hands of the people who can learn and relearn using MOOCS.
Good luck with all those pursuits, Joe. With many things, it is possible "You get out of it, what you put into it" - perhaps this is how to make learning through MOOCs most effective.
It's Georgia Institute of Technology not "Georgia Tech University"....
Wooo go GTU!!
the internet will bankrupt the college ecosystem it will not only be free but of high quality I've seen so many people that they prefer a video than an actual teacher
Except the best online programs to get accredidated from cost a lot. For example, Harvard's online degree cost like 7k a semester. Not much cheaper than some public school
Ruffles2012 no one cares about the degrees anymore and it will become even worse later on... people will have to prove their worth with independent portfolios & experience. ( if you don’t work on your own and take initiative, you don’t deserve working in that field - on the exception of a few select fields )
Samuel, quality education won’t be free, but it will however become a lot cheaper such as memberships under 300$/month or a couple thousand dollar courses etc.
I am going back to College to learn Civil Engineering as I made a mistake in choosing Accountancy in College.
Good luck with your program!
I studied accounting in college and made 55k straight out of school.
i took a cs class online and i absolutely struggled the lack of being able to stop the instructor and ask a question makes understanding the concepts way harder being able to talk to a expert and have them help you understand is the only reason i go to class
Great video... This is actually a debatable topic.
I suspect Sarah Hernandez is sugarcoating her decision because she simply *disliked her job* (she left NASA in
It's been happening for years in a sense already. Whenever we go on youtube to learn calculus or physics, it's so much more beneficial than a professor often times.
You need a GOOD math professor. You can love or hate a math subject based on your teacher. I loved my algebra 2 professor because she dumbed everything down. I loved my trig class because my professor allowed us to use a formula sheet, unit circle and identity sheet for exams.
This was so interesting. Thanks for creating this.
Thanks and you're very welcome!
Very good video production ! Wow
They mention returning to college to further education later in life, but the one downside of that is that there is less return on investment because you’ll have less years employed with that degree.
Hmmm... sponsored by Georgia Tech?
We were lucky to have access to and insight into Georgia Tech's current MOOC program, but they did not sponsor this video. Also, you may notice in our reporting we discovered this style of some online learning at Georgia Tech is not always successful - in a study of a million MOOC users, only 4% ever completed the course.
I was about to share vid then i realised this might be a promo, even though they say otherwise.
For that title, they could have covered a lot of people... Udacity, Udemy, Coursera, khancademy, codecademy etc
Udacity, Udemy, Coursera, etc are all part of the MOOC ecosystem - but it was also interesting to see how brick and mortar institutions are adapting to the trends.
@@Qznews i know, just saying too much focus was on one institution for such a broad topic
Quartz I wish this piece focused on what happens to the professors that will be eliminated when universities consolidate their faculty. Also, how does this affect the one stream of information given by an "almighty OZ"?
thank for sharing
I did a research paper on this last semester so it was cool to see this and some of the stuff I talked about in it like Minerva
I applied for Minerva years ago but didn't get in :/ sounds really interesting though and the most important to me about their model wasn't the live online classes but the fact that they put you in a city for away from your home town so you actually had to learn about different cultures and be out of your comfort zone.
This is not sustainable. Too much pressure on individuals, how many people can handle this? keep learning and "retooling" as they grow? Hmm maybe I am underestimating humans
As a german I am so used to college, university and also retraining between jobs beeing free that I find it difficult to understand the US american approach to having people pay for their education. Why would you ask somebody to pay for a service that will enable him to be a more productive member of society right in a situation where he or she can least afford it? To me it seems educating people for free is a good bargain for society and also for the german state in the long run because people can be productive much faster and will be able to contribute through their taxes and jobless insurance payments.
creating interesting and fast paced 3 month courses where you can learn a specific skill while using the resources on campus, is something I would sign up for IMMEDIATELY. I love learning but hate the slow and outdated 4 year college programs.
Great video, very informative👌🏾 just subscribed😄
Thanks for subscribing.
Lifelong learning is a general trend, it applies to everyone and everything not just colleges. A guy that learned how to screw in a screw decades ago is doomed, you can see that from growing 50+ age group unemployment, some of those don't even know how to write an email and once laid off have no way to enter the job market again. Not as much of a problem in the US because there's always work but salaries went down for sure.
@ Quartz Great video! Too bad you didn't bring up whether there is any stigma with undergrad degrees online. This segment only brought up about taking masters courses online.
That's a good point. You are correct, removing stigma is a dimension of the successful adaption of online courses. Perhaps as more and established institutions adopt the practice stigma will fade.
this is eyeopening
it's been so long since I've seen a video this enlightening. as one whos been out of touch with tech so long. how cool thayvi can learn from home
The problem that I see with college is the added costs. Sure, you might see a class at $500 per credit hour but the book is another couple hundred dollars and added software, and the professor’s added text all increase that cost
I graduate 1985 with a psychology degree and was in field which hated it. 1995 majored in electronics and networking which I enjoyed today. Today the new technology is voip voice over ip phones. Keep learning. Downey California
It's already available in coaching center apps on India in commercialized form for variety of entrances.... Those who can't open apps and fund institutions run their own UA-cam channels...
Must say our med school lectures were more learnt online than on class
Practicals at wards are a different story though
All of these remote online education strategies raise one important question, should the courses be made more accessible to the world by making them *FREE* ?
Education is free online, if you want it you can find it.
@@t-.-t. I watched the whole robert sapolsky for free, incredible still today.
and there is plenty of better video for free now. just learn one thing LEARN TO FIND
You can teach yourself pre algebra and algebra online. Trig, and calculus also. A professor is good for asking questions for math.
The important point that can be inferred from the video is that the pace at which technology is changing, the knowledge earned in a defined duration degree is not going to serve you for the entirety of life. You need to keep learning to keep up and these online courses or programs are the way to go.
👏 Online 👏 classes 👏 are 👏 good 👏 if 👏 they’re 👏 set 👏 up 👏 correctly 👏
No there are a lot of things you learn if you go to college physically u learn a ton of social skills
@@gamingdude4978 Common we all know in the real world it's when you learn real social skills meeting new people from different industries. College social skills is just a bubble that students are in
of course not. come and take a look to third world countries whom you're leaving behind, we cannot even afford food for our daily meals, even worse to afford internet connections in our households.
it is an economical education business world, We are facing a qualification degree booming age. They could be selling it to you as a product, you will complete a qualification degree fast enough, if you got enough money and good relationships. It does not mean you could handle your work.
Save your money college is a waste of time and money.
We need these places to learn and study.
It depends on the environment being used, not all the surrounding areas can afford full time online education.
U r only focused on computer science how about this other courses
Good point, Victor. Do you think this applies to other fields or academia as a whole - the need to structure lifelong learning and access to remote online courses?
@@Qznews Not Victor, but obviously Medical and Law degrees do require a college. I think MOOCs are more than adequate platforms for CS or any other STEM students.
It depends on the course. Medicine and other sciences absolutely need a lab to train in, you cant do that at home. Art and fashion would probably be done best on-site as well . But other subjects, like some humanities, can surely be done online.
The Arts absolutely does not need the university to introduce itself to curious learners. Most people in the arts goes to festivals, exhibitions, and galleries where they're in a community of artists that can mentor and teach them some tricks of the trade. Some artists offer classes themselves, which is sorta like a really small academia, but it's not established like a university. One doesn't even need any mentors to learn, they can learn from the plethora of youtube videos, vimeo videos, articles, and websites on how to be an artist. Your portfolio and demo reel are your credentials, not a piece of paper.
I am trying to add to my skills by learning to code, and someone combine it with my graduate education. Technology/AI will tough virtually every industry.
Great vid!
Although it doesn’t mention income-share agreements, which are massively disruptive to the current higher education business model.
There are so many ways to look at the future of college it could be a series of videos. Do you think the income share-agreements are a step in the right direction?
@@Qznews Income-Sharing Agreements are 10x better than the current system.
Higher Education Business Model: students pay a ton of money (120k) upfront with no guarantee of employment
Income-Sharing Agreement: students pay nothing upfront and only pay if they get a job after college (20% of Income)
It aligns incentives and holds higher education accountable to deliver employment, in order to get paid.
Salespeople at universities shouldn't focus on recruiting students, they should focus on recruiting employers.
Yeah, Interesting. Definitely, a trend to keep an eye on.
These online features would be very crucial as it can reach more and more people around the world and maybe for a much cheaper price.
Why are people so focused on higher education?
Why is the state of our society and the way it's heading "scary?" 7:35 Why is it unfortunate that we have to keep retooling ourselves? 7:45 Education has always been a continuous pursuit. It's exciting there is a driving force behind personal/professional growth. Engage and succeed or step aside. It's an incredible time to be alive. We have the ability and opportunity to reach for our wildest dreams.
I'm a dad and R&D engineer. I will encourage my son to learn programming, machining, design, welding, dance, music, art etc etc etc. Acquire skills that have utility and showcase them to the world creatively; in a way that adds value to those around you and the world.
i finished my 1st coursera class which i paid for (the OG andrew ng's machine learning course) and the knowledge i gained there impressed my teacher in the real college i was going to and he recommended me for a job so i got one right after uni. thank god for moocs tbh.

Colleges will be a very interesting topic to watch during the 2020s and 2030s. The whole idea will change dramatically, and make this video look "Very 2018".
This is exciting but hopefully internet would be more accessible for everyone and almost zero lags to make this work around the globe (international learners)
That's a good point, Ramil. This technology is an opportunity to make education available to people who live in rural or otherwise remote areas - we just need the infrastructure to close the digital divide.
so what was the gist, is it good or is it bad?
my understanding is that it is good for the society to constantly be getting higher-educated professionals, but people don't live forever, and young people don't get jobs which someone else can do better (which in this case would be the same thing as older). besides, nobody wants an automated life, and being caught up in a system which asks that you sign a contract to work for them your whole life sounds good as a kid, but it gets harder and harder as life goes on, limiting how financially independant you really are.
So true today with Covid
College better be free before someone automated College
Go Jackets! 🐝Proud to be a student at such an innovative school.
anything worth learning cannot be taught ... learning was never dependent on teaching and now this has come to pass.
well I paid enough that you should owe something to me for the rest of my life other than those personal attacks whenever I went in due to depression. Collages are filled with people who think they are fine with attacking you emotionally because they believe themselves to be better than their customers. I had a counselor, who I went to due to depression, attack me personally saying it was all my fault not the school's and i was just an idiot who did not belong in collage. I almost committed suicide, thankfully my friends were there to get me out of my depression
as i have done my bachelors in electrical engineering from nepal, our courses has not changes since 1980s, and from that time the world has changed a lot but except for our course which is just the same with no practical education. And the irony is most of my friends who are graduate even don't know the meaning of programming or coding. So, courses has to be changed.
Meanwhile, many bogan towns in Australia believe that learning how to play football, how to wrap gifts and/or how to paint walls constitute an all-round Education.
Online education. Have a time when sessions start and ends. Real time teach -student communication. That would be interesting to see how many students ask for help when there is no other body near u
2 yrs later.
03:00 "If you do online right, it's not cheap". What did he mean? I don't think this was fully explained in the video, but it seemed interesting.
I myself have taken a couple of MOOCs on computer science and music theory, and I've enjoyed them a lot, and they were free (got financial aid from coursera for a couple of them to get a certification, tho).
Maybe he meant that creating a whole online bachelor degree with the same validity as a traditional one, in other fields different from computer science, would be really expensive? I'm not sure...
Good feedback. Thank you. Perhaps he meant that the production of a good online course, with all the enhancements like interactivity, authentication, and distribution have a steep price tag.

The future of work isn't stagnant, you will need to keep re-educating in order to stay relevant. Upending your life for another 3 years at a time just to stay relevant isn't going to be a viable solution, especially in today's economy. Colleges can either embrace that or be left behind by all the other alternatives that will come out to fill the void they don't want to.
If they fail to meet this gap then the marketing behind college (exclusivity and a name to put behind your education) will largely become redundant. Possibly to the point to which we view high street to designer clothing, at the end of the day and for the most part, the only difference between a designer white T-shirt and a retail white T-shirt is the price.

nope...the future is companies providing specific education to employees with potential...see google...also ask, why are colleges and universities tax exempt and who is benefitting???
Wtf 5.8k views only?
its kinda weird seing this being posted on youtube, or better on the internet, using existing material that is openly available and is not owned by anyone is how most are learning, sometimes its even part of the official "offline" curricula! Offcourse theres the stuff people just post online because they know something others dont and they want to show that, that is owned by the individual! But still, there exists so much stuff to learn from! Often times its the students who are not spoken about who are already living the future! Look, I am not saying there is an advantage over offline or online learning, but there is from a mobillity sense! I can not believe it that setting up a website is that hard where people can come to and learn, and are tested, maybe its okay if the data of students is not available in one place, videogames could save your data with just a code! If a student just has to submit a code, like QR, or a seemingly random sequence of numbers and letters, for the university to see all his progress in all its detail, why not? Sounds like it can save a lot money!
