Quizzes and games are not what's fun in education. It's applicability of what
one has learned. You can't solve that with technology, it's a thing on the
side of curriculum.
The fun also comes from exploring an interesting domain, but student needs to
like the domain already to have fun learning, and it's hard to control that.
I know that if all you have is hamme^H^H^H^H^Htechnology, everything looks
like a nai^H^H^Htechnology problem, but it's not the case.
> The truth is , alot if not most or all of the material taught in traditional colleges today can be learnt free of charge on the internet.
Yes, one can find material to learn from on the internet. But for any more
advanced field, beginners won't know what to look for and where to start to get
to the point where they can learn on their own. They'll still need a guide of
a teacher.
External motivation to learn (to get a grade) also plays a big role in
education. Only the most determined can learn their way through without such
thing.
> This would be a really interesting experiment to create if we could get the rich people (people with money) and governments to fund this idea.
You mean, to create competition for Coursera and other MOOC
platforms/services? If all you seek is to have an experiment, try looking at
their results, you don't need to wait.
