Coursera's Koller: 'Yesterday's degree doesn't prepare for tomorrow's jobs' - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

Coursera President and Co-Founder Daphne Koller says that the college diploma of 15 years ago doesn’t provide the necessary skills for a job in the 21st century. According to her podcast interview with Recode, Koller says that expanding educational access with coursework designed for skill-building in key industries is the way to increase interest in education and career preparation. Koller says that artificial intelligence and virtual reality components of learning will replace traditional classroom lectures. http://www.educationdive.com/news/courseras-koller-yesterdays-degree-doesnt-prepare-for-tomorrows-jobs/421277/
