How Technology Has Impacted The Way We Live From Investing?

Getting into college are the goal for many students, yet MOOCs are a much cheaper option for students who are ready for the material and the challenge. Cristina mendoza is one of three students, along with James Gregory, and Hugh Gallagher, who’s goals are to go into into a good college and acheive success in life. She is one of many smart and diverse people who are capable of completing a MOOC. There are many things, such as her acceptance of her diverse nature, her smarts, and uniquness of her work shows that she is the most capable of taking part in and completing a online learning environment successfully.

The system of higher education in America could be in trouble. Due to dramatic change in what society values, they could soon be under attack. In the two articles that I analyzed, these issues were discussed in further detail. The first article was titled, “The Future of College” and was written by Graeme Wood. Its purpose was to draw attention to a new approach at education. The second article, “The Troubled Future of Colleges and Universities”, written by Gary King and Maya Sen, focused on the obstacles that universities are facing and gave suggestions of ways to overcome them. Along with this, both articles, addressed what education may look like in the future. With the development of technology and information from new studies, many wonder what the outcome could be. Will lecture style classes remain? Could higher education convert to a completely online experience? What is the most effective teaching method? In the first article, Wood argues for a completely online education. Whereas, the other article believes that universities need to focus on the importance of research. However, students learn in different ways, therefore, today’s higher education institutes should offer a variety of instructional methods.

Because online education is based on information technology, students, teachers, and colleges are requested to have personal computers, or other electronic devices. First of all, students will end up bearing the losses once these devices malfunction such as the computer crash. According to Healy, Block, and Judge (2014), there were many students who had trouble with technical issues in online education, and these technical issues severely impact their learning. Online education over dependent on electronic devices, but it is impossible to guarantee that every student can have an appropriate device and there will be no fault with it. Kingsley-Hughes (2014) reports that the cash rate of IOS was about 3.56 percent. Moreover, the Microsoft windows 7 cashed 7.1 times monthly on average (TWCN, 2012). These data show that the breakdown is not rare in most electronic devices required by online education, so technology issues were identified as a disadvantage to online education by a few of the participants . Moreover, the requirement online education might discriminate against the students in poverty (Afsari-Mamagani, 2014). Online education may require devices such as personal computer and smart phone, which can be hardly afforded by some poor students. For example, Healy,

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the term “technology” is defined as, “the use of science in industry, engineering, etc., to invent useful things or to solve problems”. New technologies emerge every day, but in 1989, one of the most useful technologies had become available to the general public – the World Wide Web. With the use of computer and the World Wide Web (better known as the internet), most of the people in the world are given access to almost anything at their fingertips – including online or distance education. The majority of Americans now have hectic schedules, whether it is working multiple jobs, or staying home and taking care of the kids, life can obstruct the view of completing their education.

This paper will discuss the Community College System as it is predicted to be known in the future. The higher education community is setting forth on a new journey into the twenty-first century. Embarking into a new millennium is a factor fueling a transformation of the educational system such as new market learners of all ages, cost effective education, customized education, and convenient education (Ryland, 2016). Although technology should not drive the direction of any college, it will be a tremendous asset toward strategic goals of the college, more specifically, assisting students in their educational endeavors (Ryland, 2016). To add to the struggle of technology in education in the future, de los Santos and Milliron (2015), suggest

While tuitions rose and salaries static, families no longer see the need to splurge on the “college experience”. Not only are students paying for the expense of academics, but on campus dorms and a meal plan as well. Although Students could choose to commute to cut out the cost of dorms, many colleges are too far away from home to do so. If living on campus and commuting were out of the question, then students may enroll in online schooling to get the education they need

The use of technology has taken a toll for the worse. Humans have excluded social interaction due to the bingeing on technology. It is important to decrease the use of technology, for it is hurting humans communicate and it distracts people from real life problems.

Nearly 20 years ago when the World Wide Web was released, many people in society had no idea what type of advances were in store for the technological world. Endless opportunities became available worldwide in every avenue of approach, one of those being education. Education has blossomed in the light of technology and will only continue to do so for many generations to come. Although it can be argued that technology is negatively effecting the education system, more innovative ways of learning are becoming available and society has no choice but to conform to these advances.

At the surface level, the MOOC format seems like just the solution indebted students and concerned educators have been looking for; access to professors from a

The technological innovations impacted the way people got around, the way people's houses were lit, and the way cities were built. One of the new ways people started getting around is by train, and then soon by automobiles. Another way technological innovations impacted society is that they went from using oil lamps to electric lighting in their homes. Technological innovations also impacted the way cities were built by making them vertical rather than outward.

“This approach considers the student a motivated learner and the faculty a facilitator for learning. They challenge the 'sage on stage' and encourage the faculty to 'be the guide on the side'” (Bajaj). Additionally, Massive Open Online Courses allow class preparation, discussions, and practical learning. While some educators feel MOOCs are a threat to an educator, Gita Bajaj provides the examples of Wikipedia or the Khan Academy, where any professor could add a video courses. The author also mentions how one professor can influence millions of students by independently developing lectures and offer courses online.

In 2011, Stanford professor Sebastian Thrun and research assistant David Stavens founded Udacity, a for-profit platform on which MOOCs (massive open online courses) would be offered. One of their first classes, “CS 373: Programming a Robotic Car,” attracted 160,000 students across 190 countries. In simple terms of enrollment and global reach, Udacity was an instant success. Perhaps more importantly, Udacity showed the incredible potential of an online platform that can provide higher education to those lacking the resources traditionally required to obtain it.

It is no secret that technology plays a critical role in our society. In fact, it has become one of the most used items in the world, starting from personal computers and ending in smartphones, thus it was only a matter of time when educational institutions would start to utilize these gadgets in order to improve the overall state of current education. According to a U.S Department of Education (UDE, n.d) report, all 48 states, including the District of Columbia are now offering online education. Additionally, the report states that these schools operate on all kinds of scales, including state scale, district scale and charter scale, thus it would safe to assume that the whole state of current education in the United States is large and the whole approach is clearly technology based. However, despite the

It seems that technology is growing, improving, and changing at an exponential rate. Technology now affects every part of our lives from the time we get up to the time we go to bed, and even as we sleep. One of the major areas that has been affected by technology is education. At one time, the only option for students to complete their education was in a traditional classroom setting. There has become a major need for non-traditional education because there has been a growth in the amount of non-traditional students that exist in our society. The advancement of technology has

An era in which primary wants have risen along as primary needs have vanished. Society has pushed us to require unnecessary products that business are provide us with. And while time passes by we increasingly need more and more comfort. But is there a possible way to keep up with it?
