Opis

Your author attended an Alumni Seminar day in 2013 at USC (University of Southern California) where he had received his PhD and taught as an adjunct assistant Professor in Computer science. He received two lectures in person, but both lectures could have been sent by internet as part of Global Education. In that way registered students worldwide could have received the same lectures either in realtime or downloaded using encoded files. Both of these USC lectures were of fascinating topics, but such lectures could be made on a large number of subjects spread out over time to satisfy the requirements of the University in which the student is enrolled. The purpose of this book is to describe how the Internet age requires a vast revision of the University Education System on a global basis. The book will give information on things that can be done and how to do these things to achieve Global Education. Global education means the students can live anywhere and can be enrolled in Universities anywhere and be lectured by the best. One could postulate that, for example, the university of the future will have no library because students will carry it in their pockets; and that there will be no classes, as adaptive, interactive, computer-taught sessions will have taken their place. Lectures will be provided, courtesy of distance learning, by a few world-class professors located around the globe. The University of Arizona offers website degrees so you can live anywhere on Earth and earn website degrees with this university. This book also provides information about Website degrees in the US, Asia and Europe. The rating of the University offering the website degree is important in obtaining a job. So it may be easy to use the University of Arizona for an advanced degree, but earning a degree from a higher ranked university may be worth considering.
