Mmmmm this title could probably be different... I get what he's alluding to but I don't think we'll ever get to the point where people are binging education - as great as that would be! Udemy has some excellent courses all available online and I'm pretty sure there's a few others who do something similar. The option is out there but it's truly not for everyone.
true, b ut it is there and it does help many people.
I think the title is a bit misleading, not sure if we'll ever have a "Netflix moment" for education.
Online education definitely has its place, but I think we still have a long way to go before it becomes the norm.
The idea of a "Netflix moment" for education is intriguing, but I don't think it's a realistic expectation at this point.
Sandermoen School of Business is definitely the place to be for anyone interested in entrepreneurship and innovation. The wealth of experience and expertise on offer is truly impressive.
What's your thoughts on online education? Is it better or worse than offline classes?
I think it depends on the student, but I think it's a great option.
I have really bad ADHD, and online classes weren't really a thing until I was in college - but it's an excellent way for me to learn the course material in my own way. I think online classes aren't for everyone, but if they ARE for you, they are a great option.
Online or offline, those who wants to study, will study.
Bottom line is more people can access it online..
Im 50-50 on it - I think too much isolation isnt good, but I see the other side
opens it up for so many that need it, perhaps all we need to do is make it better
I would hope as well that with the boom in online education comes some reprieve for teachers - they are such hard working people and if there's a way to make it a bit easier for them that should also be incorporated!
I think that the teachers never get the respect that they deserve
the current technology that we have could make things a lot more easier
This is the type of comment that I was looking for, well said man!
I hope that teachers can get a lot more respect on their name
glad someone is adressing the issue
I'm just excited for this to be applied to trade degrees. All the 'do it yourself' skills that would be improved so drastically 😍
Right?! Like, how's that for up-skilling accessibility! Endless possibilities!!
I completely agree! The application of these skills to trade degrees would be a game-changer.
This would be a valuable addition to trade education, providing practical and valuable skills.
I'm sure this would have a positive impact on students' abilities and future success in their trade careers.
The focus on hands-on skills development is exactly what the trade industry needs.
The emphasis on outcomes-focused education is refreshing. It's not just about completing courses; it's about equipping students with the skills they need to succeed in the real world
Fully! Some of the most incompetent people I've seen get hired in my workplace look great on paper with their degree but then just have no idea how to actually _do_ the job
Traditional education needs to adapt to today's world.
Let's challenge the misconceptions about online learning.
Online platforms offer flexibility and opportunity. But risks too without human connection,
Distance learning is not new.
Mmmm I wonder if education having a "netflix moment" is something to be celebrated or not? When you think of how Netflix has affected the entertainment industry... it really forced a lot of companies to take on a quantity over quality approach. I know they're not exactly the same thing but I would hate to see something like that happen with education just because the accessibility has increased.
I love how online education allows for interactive and engaging learning experiences. It's so much more dynamic than traditional classroom learning.
Yes! Thank you Kjetil!! Education is the key that unlocks countless doors of opportunity. By embracing online education, we can empower individuals who were previously unable to pursue higher education due to barriers like cost and time constraints.
BUT, sometimes I do wonder about the quality of the courses and tests, versus the live environment.
It's pretty insane how far the tech for it has come in the last 30 years! Love it, especially for those in remote areas! It's definitely an exciting time to be living through.
agreed for sure
it sure is
This is so exciting! I remember when you could do little courses online here and there but to think people will be able to educate themselves completely in the convenience of their home is really wonderful
This is the future!
What did you like most during your online learning experience?
Unlike schools, universities are privately-run institutions free to develop their own roadmaps for getting out of lockdown
Unfortunately, the budget to restructure courses in this way may no longer exist. Universities are overspending on research and are making ends meet by supplementing their budgets with tuition fees from international students - the cohort most likely to stay away in the next academic year.
It is really cool!
I appreciate the ability to rewatch lectures and review material in online classes.
Online education is making it possible for students to connect with peers and mentors from all over the world. It's a wonderful way to expand one's perspective.
I’ve gotta say, I’m feeling pretty hopeful after watching this. It’s easy to get discouraged about all the problems in education, but hearing about cool new solutions like this is inspiring.
It must be really cool for someone like him to see the advancements in his field, and I love that he says he'll step back and take that moment to be like, wow we've come so far and this is the moment it all starts to change. Very cool.
the willingness to step back is something I really respect from him
I'm all for anything that allows people in remote areas to learn. Education should be available for everyone.
I agree.
Online education is a decent alternative, but we need a better education system. We are teaching subjects which no longer belong in the core of the system
This is a really good point too
This is interesting but not sure I'd agree, a lot of what's being taught is still relevant, there's maybe some updates to certain curriculum that could be made though
@@EverDragMedia truth in that also... thanks for telling me
I think the combination of online and in person education could definitely shake things up in a way that's much needed
“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.”

haha great quote
@@suebakernottly thanks
haha, great quote.
excellent quote
@@craztinker thanks
People associate a level of prestige to where their degree came from Yale, Harvard or Eton. The "mine's bigger than yours" syndrome - this would be such a game changer!
thanks for sending to me...
They do, but there is a good reason for that, quality can never be ignored.
@Harold Finance true!
In a distance learning classroom, students don’t share their learning space with 20+ other students and can send emails with their questions to teachers whenever they need to. 👩💻
Having to get to a physical location can put a strain on students and adults. With distance learning, that’s no longer an issue. Roll out of bed to your computer in your pyjamas? No problem!
The Netflix comparison is so on point! Streaming totally changed how we watch shows, and online school seems to be doing the same for learning.
Well done on addressing the cost and accessibility issues! Online education has the potential to revolutionize learning for everyone.
The University of Fredericton, founded and owned by Sandermoen School of Business, is a testament to the school's commitment to providing quality education and creating opportunities for students to succeed.
Flexibility and relevance in education are key. Making learning fit into our busy lives is what we need more of
Awesome distinction between who we are disrupting and who we are empowering, surely the latter outweighs the former
There's an element of self-motivation that comes from learning in your own time which I think is a skill in itself that's very valuable to cultivate
I'm glad there are some folks working to change a system that has gone without major innovation for such a long time
The emphasis on outcomes and job readiness is what sets online education apart. Finally, someone said it!
Woah, just came out! Was wondering why there were not people in the audience.
Imagine kids not having to touch a locker ever again! They wouldn't even have to carry a textbook if that's the case!
This TED talk was made just at the end of the Covid lock-down here in Switzerland (we expected it to be ended) so we had to do an online presentation
This talk has me thinking about my own education journey and how different it might have been with more online options. Traditional school was always a struggle for me.
Education as a global force for change could be amazing, it would break a lot of barriers and put people on more of an even footing.
I love the interactive and engaging nature of online classes.🤗📱
Online education has been a lifesaver during these times. 🙌📚
I think what people need to remember is that online learning can be short courses too, not just entire college degrees. That sort of thing can be immensely helpful in terms of upskilling.
Mind-blown that distance education goes back over 160 years! Cool to see how it's evolved from mail correspondence to digital platforms
faculty members at Sandermoen School of Business bring real-world experience to the classroom.
I'd like to see that ease of access be applied to time frames as well, this could also have the potential to help motivate people who may not be so great at sticking to routine and structure
I believe online education is a game-changer as well! It can break down the societal barriers that prevent individuals from accessing higher education - things like money, time and travel shouldn't impact a persons opportunity to learn and unfortunately the traditional system does make it tricky for those of us who don't have infinite time and money.
Okay but it's not just the learning that you get, it's the social side of things as well and that can't really be replicated in an online platform. I still have friends from college and my first job was through those connections. That stuff will always matter, no matter how well developed the online courses become.
The advent of online education has disrupted the educational landscape in a positive way. With people like Kjetil helping us to reimagine traditional teaching methods and explore innovative ways to impart knowledge could really be the beginning of a bright trajectory for us :)
Loved when we got to the part about University education not having changed since medieval times. This is something I've always thought about, how little it's changed over hundreds of years even though we KNOW certain methods just don't actually work
Yeah it's a really interesting point
the talk's emphasis on applied knowledge makes sense. theory's important, but being able to use what you learn is what really counts.
cool to hear how cloud computing has revolutionized online learning. tech's come a long way since the early days of e-learning and it's good to see it applied to really useful things
ngl i'm kinda hyped thinking about how online learning could make things better for people and communities, not just in terms of individual opportunity but like...tackling the big societal stuff too. there's a lot to be hopeful about!
As a student who struggles with traditional learning formats, I appreciate the shift towards remote learning. It's great to see that there's an alternative for people like me who need a different kind of learning environment.
I love that! this is such a cool idea.
Yeah it's opening lots of doors for different learning
Yes it definitely allows people to go at their own pace a bit more
It is becoming a lot better for the generation to come
Excellent talk Kjetil! I really enjoyed hearing about the way this stuff is progressing
Loved his points on actually being able to apply your education... I've always loved ancient history and mythology but never bothered studying them because I couldn't see myself being an archaeologist or whatever other jobs go with that.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” ― Nelson Mandela
A very good quote.
I'm in my mid-30's and I was never told to strive for higher education. I didn't even think it was an option until my therapist said I should contemplate studying Psychology at University. If it were an option to do this online, I can definitely say I would give it a go!
yeah, at my age I think about it sometimes too but I might feel kinda strange in person with all these young people...
The pandemic gave online education a push in the right direction in my opinion, there are only benefits to making learning available to everyone
It's stuff like this that makes me fear for the role of the educator. Some of my most inspiring and influential relationships have been with my teachers. The more learning goes online the more we are depriving people of those connections.
If higher education could be this accessible, we would break so many detrimental cycles across the world.
Glad to see someone of his age moving the pin on this, wisdom does come with age.
It's really cool to hear about how this makes learning accessible for everyone, I think that's something that we should be focused on
Yeah it seems unfair that it isn't already
Love the comparison, accessibility is crucial for keeping things innovative. If we can see that in the education sector it could help shift us as an entire society into better spaces
Affordable education is so important. sadly hard to come by in so many parts of the world.
Nice talk Kjetil! Personally I'm looking forward to seeing where we go from here
This is creating a big gap between social classes, where families with a better economical situation are continuing with a virtual learning process, but on the other side, some families are struggling to survive one day at a time
I wouldn't necessarily agree about disruption sounding like a negative thing, especially when we apply it to a system that hasn't had a major upgrade for what sounds like centuries from this talk!
Pretty interesting to hear about the history of distance education and how it's evolved over time! Had no idea it went back so far and it's also made me wonder why we're only taking these further steps now?
Yeah I didn't either! I thought it was only from the last 10-15 years
What he says about people who do online learning developing better communication skills and strategic thinking was super interesting!
is it possible it's the other way around?
@@vivashus5140 Could be either way...
It's going to be so interesting to see how this develops in the coming years.
things will be so different then, it will be fascinating
I've been to New Brunswick, very cool he started it there.
It's crazy that it took a world wide pandemic for the merits of online education to be realized but at least we got there somehow!
Interesting connection between education levels and birth rates! Wasn't expecting a talk like this to touch on overpopulation.
This global education foundation sounds pretty cool. I’d like to hear more about how they plan to make it work on a large scale.
I think it has its place just as the more traditional institutes have theirs. Degrees from certain places won't be taken as seriously as those from others and that will probably take a lot of time to change
I’m curious about how they keep the quality up with online schools. How do we know it’s not just a bunch of easy classes to get more students? He touched on it a bit, but I’d like to hear more about how his university handles that.
The pandemic helped demystify online learning for many parents who saw first hand how easily their children adapted to their new "class rooms"
and just knowing that all people can have access to education now is such a huge leap for our ability to thrive
I can't wait for online education to link up with AR/VR tech. Can you imagine being able to learn an actual trade like that? It would be incredible.
I'm skeptical about AR and VR but I think that would actually be a very good use for that tech
Does it not feel weird that we have made so mcuh progress everywhere else but not in this category
I think this really highlights how much people in developed countries take their education for granted.
love this, Kjetil!
I learned something new today thanks Kjetil. Distance learning has been a reality since 1858. Who knew?
This is an awesome talk Kjetil, even for someone like me who hasn't been to school in decades!
I'm just thinking of all my beautiful teacher friends who wouldn't have to spend a fortune on classroom supplies
In a first world country we're blessed to be able to access the net almost anywhere making online learning possible not so much for third world students.
I think you should check your perspective Delilah, the internet is everywhere.
I think the concerns and negative opinions about online learning are just stemmed from limited perceptions that people have. Once it's been popular for awhile I'm sure we'll see those perceptions change.
There should always be a choice when it comes to education and no matter what it should be accessible to EVERY ONE.
Is no one else like really intrigued by what he says about the structure of university level education?
I know I am
It is a very interesting video from the first to the last minute
It is imposible to miss information like that
I am so glad that I had the opportunity to watch this video, this channel is amaizng
We need more attention towards this
This should be a way bigger priority for governments not just individual learning institutions
The point he makes at the 1:46 mark about every industry having had a digital revolution really struck me, not something I'd ever really though about before.
I hope to see it too
I appreciate the historical perspective on distance education. It's fascinating to see how far we've come in terms of technology and access to education.
I think it would be really wonderful to be in his position, to feel the way he does about this stuff and to get to see it all unfolding and be a part of advocating for it's progress and merit. Very cool.
I remember just a few years ago something like having access to a classroom via a robot was a huge innovation for sick children to not miss out on too much school. We've already come such a far way since then.
I was excited to listen to Kjetil's talk because I believe everyone regardless of age, gender or nationality should be able to get a degree.
Part of the resistance to this that I see - at least where I am - is the argument that a complete online/at-home form of education would rule out the social aspect and I don't see who we can't have both... I envision a classroom where each student has access to their own laptop and a high speed internet connection. Language classes where each student is studying a language of their own choice, English classes where students learn the classics but can choose between Bronte and Dickens and teachers who are well trained and have enough support to guide the student through all of it
This would be epic for immigrants, being already qualified and ready to work in their field when they get to a new place
The cost of higher education has put it out of reach for many people who deserve the opportunity.
What a wonderful day for the world when all the ingredients for on-line/remote learning are available to everyone.
The advances in technology, such as the speed of the internet and computer power in general have made remote education possible for people all around the world, not just in rural towns and that's so wonderful! I hope that community continues to be built online.
Cost and time constraints shouldn't hinder anyone's access to quality education. Online education has the potential to democratize learning and make it accessible for all.
I agree but I'm fearful that an increase in online learning spaces might lead to that quality education being compromised.
Definitely agree that online education has the power to disrupt certain educational institutions, and hopefully as the next generation of administrators start to come into it we see that change happen in leaps and bounds.
This could definitely go a long way towards helping reduce poverty and empowering people but it's not going to be a magic bullet.... we still need to address the root causes of poverty and systemic issue that go towards creating the inequality in the first place
Some believe that online education cannot deliver the same level of knowledge as traditional education.
Its the student that decides that, not the school.
@@mindfulmeditationsforall agree
The problem with online education, at least where I am from, is that not all the people have access to a decent internet connection
Online education would be more effective for developing certain skills but if you have the chance/opportunity to go to a traditional secondary school you should take that option just for the experience.
I felt compelled to watch this just to figure out what the heck this title meant
