Bill Gates: In Five Years The Best Education Will Come From The Web

　在美国内华达州塔霍湖(Lake Tahoe)区域召开的世界经济合作与发展论坛(Techonomy conference,8月4日-8月6日)上，比尔.盖茨表示，年轻人必须去大学接受教育的观点即将要消失，而五年后人们可以从网络上获得最好的教育。

　但是同时盖茨还表示，12年中小学教育还是很重要的，网络学习只是仅适用于大学阶段。

　　也就是说，自麻省理工获得学位与自己在网络学习知识没有分别，但是这种观点可能还需要很长一段时间获得用人单位的认可。


Bill Gates thinks something is going to die too.
No, it’s not physical books like Nicholas Negroponte — instead, Gates thinks the idea of young adults having to go to universities in order to get an education is going to go away relatively soon. Well, provided they’re self-motivated learners.
“Five years from now on the web for free you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world,” Gates said at the Techonomy conference in Lake Tahoe, CA today. “It will be better than any single university,” he continued.
He believes that no matter how you came about your knowledge, you should get credit for it. Whether it’s an MIT degree or if you got everything you know from lectures on the web, there needs to be a way to highlight that.
He made sure to say that educational institutions are still vital for children, K-12. He spoke glowingly about charter schools, where kids can spend up to 80% of their time deeply engaged with learning.
But college needs to be less “place-based,” according to Gates. Well, except for the parties, he joked.
But his overall point is that it’s just too expensive and too hard to get these upper-level educations. And soon place-based college educations will be five times less important than they are today.
One particular problem with the education system according to Gates is text books. Even in grade schools, they can be 300 pages for a book about math. “They’re giant, intimidating books,” he said. “I look at them and think: what on Earth is in there?“
According to Gates, our text books are three times longer than the equivalents in Asia. And yet they’re beating us in many ways with education. The problem is that these things are built by committee, and more things are simply added on top of what’s already in there.
Gates said that technology is the only way to bring education back under control and expand it.

现在网上有耶鲁和MIT的部分课程已经公开。
国内也有人开始翻译字幕了

当然课程范围还很小，距离实用化还比较远。
