When I started undergrad, my father told me that university was not for learning; that was what the Internet was for, and since I was in tech; it wasn't quite for proving myself either: that was internships and portfolio. It was, rather, for the people. And a place to grow up. That matters too.
- exitb 11mo agoGiven that the discussed lecture was delivered remotely, I don't think is offers much of a social experience too...
- j45 11mo agoIn person lectures delivered one way can be pretty non-social and non-interactive as well.
- DerArzt 11mo agoI think @exitb is referring to how it's harder to interact with other students after the lecture is over in a remote course. There's a lot less likely hood to strike up conversation.
- j45 11mo agoThat's a fair point. Looking beyond it for a second, We see students carrying portable communication devices connected to social networks to follow algorithm curated feeds instead of interacting with humans. Maybe there's a way to use an internet forum or something.
