As I referenced in a recent blog post, self-determined learners with the motivation, drive, and resources can teach themselves amazing things online. (See the blog here about two boys who taught themselves skills such as driving a car and speaking English.<\/a>) What does this mean for the future of learning and the future of the teaching profession?<\/p>\n

I’ve had the following video, Digital Aristotle,\u00a0playing in my mind\u00a0for some time now. Some might call it provocative, but I find the points valid. Have you ever been bored in class? Or have you ever been so far behind in a class that you couldn’t catch up?\u00a0If you’re\u00a0an instructor, do you know how to support the differing needs of each student? If the predictions of the video come true, within a decade we’ll see major shifts in thought about the usefulness of instructors due to the advancement of artificial intelligence. Based on the video and\u00a0articles like this, 3 reasons why AI is education’s\u00a0future<\/a>,\u00a0artificial intelligence\u00a0can better clue into the needs and projected paths of students. If this comes to pass at a grand scale, what is the value of teaching? I’d love to hear your thoughts.<\/p>\n
