Interesting summary, Lala, I would like you to go a bit deeper, if you could, into what you mean on being 'more knowledge-based'. Are you saying this is a good thing, or a bad thing, or just an observation? And how (and from what) do you delineate that from other aspects of the learning experience?
Well it is an interesting topic to discuss. Obviously the online classes and educational tools brought revolutionary change in modern day research. Day by day new tools, soft wares and knowledge repository, data bases are developing to assist researchers and students. In general online tutorials become inevitable in every front of research, so experienced and young researchers should go through refreshing courses and training in regular interval.

Dear Jewell,
Thank you for your answers.I agree with you we are much dependent on our present teaching practice.We have to look outside the education structure in order to solve problem faced by our education system.we have to prepare people to use the designed technology.

With the progress of science and computational structures, it has become very easy for us to cope of the basic needs in this age. I find online class rooms easy. However, I think we should also give priority to the class room teaching. Say for example, a major challenge can be fluctuation in server during teaching or online exams. It will not only ruin your time but also your patience. On the other hand, online distance courses can also help you earn a degree.
Online learning technology is changing the face of education and improving other skills.Teachers are designing modules covering difficult concepts.The completion rates of online courses are less.Some students seek a quick overview of course conent.Some find the course time consuming.

Science without human values leads destruction.liberal arts encourages research,innovation and originality.Multidischiplinary study is the need of the hour..An inclusive education process where teachers continue to be the passionate learners and not deities whose word is golden is the need of the hour.like food is nutrition to the body,education is nourishment to the mind.
