Online Education Grows Up, And For Now, It's Free
In the NPR article "Online Education Grows Up, And For Now, It's Free" (2012), NPR staff focuses on the increasingly development and influence in online learning by discussing the change in education and classroom. First, this news describes that the online courses are more available than before, which create more and more opportunities for students to access to high quality education, especially for people who can not access to education before. Second, this news states that the ideas to teach 50 students are the same as the ideas to teach thousands of students at a time. In the past, students had to go to school to have class; however, there are only a few students in the class, but thousands of students take the same class online now. In conclusion, the author thinks the online education will keep changing the way of teaching both in the normal class and online class.
