Philosophical-the future of B&M universities

[StoicJ]

A robot or some highly interactive platform using AI or quasi AI will tailor instruction to the individual´s wants or competencies. You come home and the platform of your choice creates a lesson plan for you. It can goad or challenge you. It will reward you for progress, possibly punish you for failure. Via constant testing it will know where to steer you. It will schedule meet-ups with other students as needed. It will set appointments for you to attend lectures or seminars based on your interests. It will probably work with other platforms to even schedule and pay the presenters. Degrees will mean much less because competency-based examinations and real-world, hands-on projects will trump them.

¨Alexa, I want to be an expert in medieval European history.¨
¨How much time do you wish to allocate?¨
¨Mmmm, 4 hours per week¨
¨Okay, dedicating 4 hours for week, you can be an expert in medieval European history in approximately 38 months¨
¨Fine, let us begin on Monday¨

You will receive lessons during your driver-less commute. Your television viewing will be an actual PROGRAMMING schedule based on your desired outcomes.

Something like that
