Channel: TAPtheTECH
Date: 2014-08-22

In this video, we explore the history, present and future of education. We see how technology is changing the way we educate and what is it that future of education should look like.

We would also like to thank Prof. Walter Lewin, Prof. Jim Fowler and Emily Graslie for helping with the video by lending their time for the interview. It was really helpful to get three perspectives on online education.
