In the recent years, two people have  tried to disrupt the education system of the world and they have made a good start.  Sal Khan and Saugata Mitra both have started a disruption by their own unique way of spreading education.  While Khan Academy of Sal Khan is a more collaborative and crowd sourced way of learning and imparting education,  Saugata Mitra who won $1million TED prize in 2013 for his  concept of schools in cloud, believes in self organized learning via cloud. Students will not study in schools but will get enrolled in CLOUD PLATFORMS, and then choose classes, teams, courses, exams as per their desire and comfort

1. How Cloud Can Wipe Out
Schools By 2025

2. In the recent years, two people have tried to disrupt the
education system of the world and they have made a good
start. Sal Khan and Saugata Mitra both have started a
disruption by their own unique way of spreading education.
While Khan Academy of Sal Khan is a more collaborative
and crowd sourced way of learning and imparting
education, Saugata Mitra who won $1million TED prize in
2013 for his concept of schools in cloud, believes in self
organized learning via cloud.
Students will not study in schools but will get enrolled in
CLOUD PLATFORMS, and then choose classes, teams,
courses, exams as per their desire and comfort

3. Let us understand some obvious
and non-obvious implications of
cloud on education system:
1. On demand course and quiz
2. Collaboration, Benchmarking
and Gaming
3. Life Long Learning

4. On demand course and quiz

5. What if the exams can be taken at leisure, when
one is ready? What if students only pay for
chapters they consume? What if students and
teachers together decide on chapters from a list of
prescribed books, instead of restricting to only
one book per subject?
I need not write the answers to above you would
have already realized the power of on demand
education. There would be no missing classes or
exams even when you are absent or ill and bed
ridden. The scope of imbibing knowledge widens
because one is not restricted to single author
now.

6. Collaboration, Benchmarking
and Gaming

7. This will be interesting. Partner schools on one cloud
platform can collaborate and create joint cultural,
educative and scientific projects/programs. Infact the
cloud may just make the schools redundant. It will not
matter whether you study in a private or a government
college- because they all would be on one platform.
More importantly, students compete with each other
across schools, cities and countries. They can track
themselves on a global leaderboard and can get much
wider recognition and opportunities.
Working in cross- cultural, cross-country teams will
make each student a global citizen, they will be able to
choose classes by ratings and reviews, and a points
system can help them or their teams maintain
discipline , because they get rewarded by their
smallest of actions.

8. Life Long Learning

9. Students will always stay connected to the cloud
platform and will be alerted basis new or improved
courses, alteration in their rank, update needed for
certifications etc. Big data will also come at play, and
based on data analysis of similar profile of people, one
can be suggested various programs at various life
stages.
I am personally excited at this prospect as cloud will
now help teaches get their true due and get a wider
scope and on demand learning opportunity for students.
It would also reduce a wide spread disparity in
education and will allow hundreds of thousands of
students to take an IIT degree or IIM degree because
these exams would be open 24*7, for an unlimited
volume of users and from any background of study, as
log as they can clear a set of exams over a period of
time.
