How Is Online Learning Changing Higher
Education?
How is online learning
changing higher education? The whole world of
higher education is going
digital. It's a
fundamental shift in classrooms and lecture halls,
but also in research, marketing,
and
recruitment. Today's students expect to learn and
be taught using the devices that dominate
the
rest their lives-laptops, tablets, and
smartphones. Universities are thinking beyond just
filming lectures from the back of the room and
archiving them online. Teachers are considering
how to create high-quality online courses and
keep students engaged through online text, video
and interaction. The digital shift also
affects how students prepare for class. Now, they
can access
resources online instead of getting
a reading list for the library. Professors can ask
students to do
online courses alongside face-
to-face classes. Students will absorb information
online first then
attend classes to discuss
what they've learned. Everything has to work on a
smartphone so
course design must be mobile-
responsive.
In the past, online learning
was a lonely experience. But now, interaction is
the dominant way
people behave on the web. So
courses are designed to be a sociable experience.
Students might
watch a video, then be invited
to join a discussion and asked questions about it.
The educator
takes part in the discussion and
responds to questions, just like in a traditional
classroom.
Increasingly, you will see top
universities offering whole degrees online. Some
are already doing
this for graduate degrees.
You'll also see courses being broken into
sections, so that students can
pick the parts
they need. Does this mean that online classes will
overtake the traditional degree?
Not yet. For
many 18-year-olds,the experience of heading off to
university is about more than just
an academic
degree. And some subjects, like healthcare and
engineering require hands-on
learning. But
when today's students arrive at university they
expect digital technology to be part
of the
experience. For more information on digital higher
education, read Simon Nelson's article
on
British Council Voices and watch the other videos
in this series.

在线学习如何改变高等教
育?整个高等教育界正在数字化。教室和讲堂的变化是根本性的改
变,研究、营销和招聘方式也会改变。
如今,学生们希望通过笔记本电脑、平板电脑和智能
手机这些支配他们余生的设备学习。大学正在考虑除
在教室后录制课程和上网存档以外的事
情。教师们也在考虑如何创造高质量的在线课程,并通过在线文本
、视频和互动来保持学生
的参与度。数字化也影响着学生们的预习方式。现在,他们可以
在线查阅资料,而不用去图
书馆按照列表阅读。教授可以让学生们同时参与在线课程和面授课程。学生们
先从在线课程
中获取知识,然后在面授课堂中讨论所学的内容。这一切都需要在智能手机上完成,因此,
课程设计必须适用于移动设备。
过去,只有少数人才会体验在线学习。但现在,互
动是人们上网的主导方式。所以,这些课
程被设计为一种社交体验。学生们可以看视频,受邀进行讨论并
提问相关问题。老师参与讨
论并回答问题,这与传统教室授课方式是一样的。渐渐地你会发现,越来越多
的顶尖大学提
供所有的在线学位。有些人已经在攻读研究生学位了。你还会看到课程分为几部分,学生选
择他们需要学的那部分就可以了。这是否意味着在线教学会取代传统教学呢?目前还不会。
对于
许多18岁的学生来说,读大学的经历不只是获得学位。像健康服务和工程学之类的课
程需要实践教学。
但是现如今,大学生希望数字技术能成为他们大学生活的一部分。更多数
