In a recent article from the Guardian, edX president Anant Agarwal declares that online education is undergoing a revolution - and transforming the entire education landscape in the process. Talking specifically about online universities, Agarwal thinks the online education “revolution” has 3 main benefits:
- Students have increased access to education
- Students receive higher quality education
- Education is becoming democratized
At Curious, we’re excited about all those possibilities, plus a few more--and couldn’t help but jump into the discussion. Here are 2 additional ways Curious is transforming online learning:
- Curious empowers and supports teachers, too. With Curious, teachers of anything can share their expertise with a global audience of learners, and earn some money along the way. We’re driven by the opportunity to give teachers quality tools to help them succeed online.
- Curious is a place for lifelong learning, beyond the classroom and not only in academic subjects. On Curious, you can learn interesting and useful things like how to bead a necklace, plant a tomato garden or integrate a curve. You can spend 10 minutes or many hours learning something new, improving a skill, or diving deep into a subject about which you’re passionate.
