Revolutionising education?!?!

Here is a great infographic from onlineeducation.net. I've seen more of this type of information hitting the mainstream media lately and I love it! The majority of it is information that we already know although it is backed up with some nice bits of data. The article is talking about higher education and it suggests that students are increasingly finding their own knowledge through the web and without a face to face teacher?? There is great investment from the Gates Foundation and governments in elearning, but I think that they are missing the important role that the teacher plays to engage, inspire, share and encourage them to think! blended learning is allowing educators in higher education to have more students, I hope higher student ratios is not something that filters down to schools.
