What does the future of education look like to you? David Rogier: I still think online education is in its infancy. There are different phases: Phase 1: Simply put information on the web (e.g. Wikipedia) Phase 2: Put the classroom on the web (e.g. Khan Academy, edX). Phase 3: Education designed for the internet (e.g. MasterClass Codecademy). We are still early in this phase — actually designing classes for the web. When Phase 1 made information easily accessible, the role of education became not the transfer of facts (which many classes still rely on) — but to inspire you to go learn, to go do, to geek out. To do this, you have to have engaging and exclusive content, world-class storytelling, and simply amazing classes. Phase 4: “Online education” won’t exist. It’ll just be “education.” We’ll see almost seamless integration between physical and digital worlds. To quote Mark Twain: “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” Phase 5: Matrix style. You’ll download Samuel L Jackson’s brain into yours. https://lnkd.in/gQkrNMW #founder #entrepreneur #onlinelearning #education #innovation …see more

It is also the responsibility and accountability distributed at startups which has a profound effect on culture — being able to directly contribute to the success of a business makes you work harder, and better, with a shared vision which is often lacking in big organisations where you’re working for someone else.
