Well
educated people is a necessity for our future development.
However, mass education creates pedagogical and logistic
problems.
Today there are about the same number of PhD students in Swedish
higher education as the number of high school student at the end
of the 50's. Still there is a need for a large education growth
in many countries.
In the 60's and the beginning of the 70's it was still possible
to devote much of the tertiary science education to hands-on
laboratory work but with the drastic growth of students, cost,
lack of premise spaces and also other curricula demands, lab
work has been minimized.
Also need of teaching faculties and instructors is an obstacle
in a mass education society.
Well designed internet use can make the education logistically
more effective and pedagogically more efficient.
This seminar gave some examples of use of remote internet
connected laboratories and their possible integration to Massive
Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
