a wild guess, that education for the many shall likely change, or else become unaffordable and disappear

to remain popular, the cost must come down, and access open up

on-line does both, for self-starters

so here is an example course, for the self starter, but requiring no particular social interaction, and in-lab / in-class / in tutoring handholding

the appended link opens to a whole slew of courses, some more useful than others

such, by different disciplines, professors, done on a Hollywood / music industry star system, digitised, would open up knowledge to all, by cost and access

standardised testing can be applied as QC

and kids can arrive at physical campuses so much better prepared

and for those wishing for name-brand certification, test, pony up on campus, and do internships

the institutions behind such vectors can IPO

student count no longer limited by class size

valuable and worthy teachers all around the planet can sign on as tutors, ranked

clip / copy / paste from in-tray

Cambridge, Stanford, etc etc all have growing on-line initiatives

Yes, the Coconut observed that one cannot study chemistry without a lab

to which I countered, 'but one can make labs available for all kinds of uses by the public based on demand ala AirBnB / WeWork

Cornell is offering classes online this summer - watch when you want, not when the teacher is lecturing.

High School kids getting university credit and transcript from Cornell.

this one looks good

CLASS 1692 Biomedical Terminology
A study of the Greek and Latin word elements that combine to form most of the specialized terms in medicine, law, and biology.

Students learning the meanings of these elements and the rules of word formation can usually recognize the basic meaning of any unfamiliar word in these fields.

This skill is especially valuable for pre-law, pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-veterinary students and for those in other health and legal fields, as well as for students who would like to broaden their general vocabulary. This course would be excellent preparation for students prior to taking standardized test: e.g., SAT, GRE, MCAT, TOEFL, LSAT, etc.

This course is open to all registrants, including undergraduates and precollege students.
