ANANT AGARWAL: I'd like to reimagine education.

The last year has seen the invention of a new four letter word.

Many organizations are offering these online courses to students

all over the world in the millions for free.

Anybody who has an internet connection and the will to learn

can access these great courses from excellent universities

Now, in this discussion today, I want to focus on a different aspect of MOOCs.

We are taking what we're learning and the technologies

we are developing in the large and applying them in the small

to create a blended model of education, to really reinvent and reimagine

So here's a classroom at this little three letter

institute in the Northeast of America, MIT.

And this was a classroom 50, 60 years ago, and this is the classroom today.

Education really hasn't changed in the past 500 years.

So the last big innovation in education was

From health care to transportation, everything is different.

It's also been a real issue in terms of access.

So what you see here is not a rock concert.

And the person you see at the end of the stage is not Madonna.

This is a classroom at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria.

Now, we have all heard of distance education,

but the students way in the back, 200 feet away from the instructor,

I think they are undergoing long distance education.

Now, I really believe that we can transform education

both in quality and scale and access through technology.

For example, at edX, we're trying to transform education

Given education has been calcified for 500 years,

we really cannot think about re-engineering it.

We really have to completely reimagine it.

It's like going from ox carts to the airplane.

We need to go from lectures on the blackboard

We have to go to interactive virtual laboratories and gamification.

We have to go to completely online grading

and peer interaction and discussion boards.

So at edX and a number of other organizations,

we are applying these technologies to education

through MOOCs to really increase access to education.

And you have heard of this example where,

when we launched our very first course-- and this

was an MIT-hard circuits and electronics course about a year and a half ago--

155,000 students from 162 countries enrolled in this course.

This number is bigger than the total number

of alumni of MIT in it's 150 year history.

7,200 students passed the course, and this was a hard course.

If I were to teach at MIT two semesters every year,

I would have to teach for 40 years before I

Now, these large numbers are just one part of the story.

So, today, I want to discuss a different aspect, the other side of MOOCs,

We are taking what we develop and learn in the large and apply in the small

to the classroom to create a blended model of learning.

But before I go into that, let me tell you a story.

When my daughter turned 13, became a teenager, she stopped speaking English.

I call it Teenglish it's a digital language.

It's got two sounds, a grunt and a silence.

So we had a real issue with communicating,

and we were just not communicating until one day I had this epiphany.

I said, no, that must have been by accident.

She must have thought some friend of hers calling her.

So our millennial generation is built differently.
