Peter Drucker Is High On Webucation
Management guru Peter Drucker echoes what we've discussed in class. He
writes:
Judging by historical experience, the new online continuing education of the
already well-educated will not replace traditional education. New channels
of distribution are typically additions and complements rather than
replacements. Television, for example, did not kill radio or magazines or
books. The new medium, TV, walked off with much of the growth, but the other
media continued to thrive and grow, too.
Online continuing education is creating a new and distinct educational
realm, and it is the future of education. There is a global market here that
is potentially worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
