When students have a casual discussion in a cafeteria is usually what is remembered and understood well. Can we create technology and environment that can effect such, an effective collaborative online resource for students and teachers. With all the innovation in online education, it is a matter of universities leveraging it to create a platform for effective education. There are a few universities already adopting to this, like Virginia Tech and Ohio State which uses a hybrid model of online and traditional school approach. Once this is established well, the course can be tailored to make best use of time and make it quicker and useful. There are many innovative platforms coming up, a good online collaborative platform such as FunnelBrain has proven to be very effective with many professors and students! The biggest factor for the success is that it is by experts in the world of education which is attracting many users. It creates an environment for students to have an interactive experience and also with its collaborative approach helps students memorize better with techniques such as flash cards. What will be more useful is to see a move towards changing the way education is perceived by students and teachers today, moving to a more effective mechanism.
