Ask HN: Future of Online Education?

1 points by throwaway537846 2 years ago | 1 comment

It seems the MOOC hype already faded. And I don’t see a lot of interest in this space recently.

What do you think is the future of online education?

Any recent innovations worth mentioning?

And most importantly, better ways to help learners to grow their knowledge?

I work for an e-learning company which is in a slow decline and want to do something with it.

Thanks all!

Recently posted on the SIGCSE mailing list:

We would like to share the final report from an NSF-funded workshop tasked with creating a vision for computing education for the next 15 years. The report, entitled Piecing Together the Next 15 Years of Computing Education is available from our website for the workshop: https://cerfutureworkshop.wpcomstaging.com/final-report/

We hope that the report and the questions and challenges it raises spurs discussion within the SIGCSE community and within Computer Science Departments as to how we can shape the future of our discipline.

If you are a computing education researcher, we hope that the ideas can inspire directions for future work within the discipline.

In addition to this final report, the website contains a series of preliminary reports (https://cerfutureworkshop.wpcomstaging.com/summary-of-outcom...) and podcasts (https://cerfutureworkshop.wpcomstaging.com/podcasts/) to dig deeper into the issues raised during our workshop.

Thanks, Adrienne Decker & Mark Weiss PIs and workshop organizers
