In 1993, education technology specialist Seymour Papert observed that the 19th century teacher, if passed through time to the mid-1990s, would feel very comfortable within the classroom, but after twenty years it turned out to be not true.
In many countries of the developed world, teachers now use smart panels, tablets, and student-centered collaborative learning based on project delivery. Universities adopt the reverse way of teaching. Students receive their lessons online, then solve problems in class, and some can use laboratory equipment and telescopes remotely. Institutions - such as Waterloo University in Canada and Massey University in North Palmerston, New Zealand - combine online education with university education.
MOOC (an abbreviation for "Intensive Online Lessons") brings together people from around the world to study and discuss. These ongoing transformations are a kind of existential panic among some faculty members, who imagine replacing existing teachers with "computerized" teachers - in the computer - over the next decade, while universities will go toward online teaching alone.

These transformations can also stimulate a kind of excitement, highlighted by Robert Opel in his book "Going Online." This book reflects the perspective of the control room at the Tandon School of Engineering at New York University, where Opel supervises the digital education unit, starting with the fact that traditional university education has failed to engage students in active learning. For example, whenever the lecture is complete and comprehensive, it gives the wrong impression that all students have learned the lesson.
Opel believes that online learning allows students to handle information at their own convenience. They can also participate in discussions online and ask their questions, without disclosing their identity, keeping their face. This situation calls for a new approach to pedagogy, including teaching, learning, and evaluation of active learning communities. Academics should work with web designers and education professionals to provide conditions that allow students to control the speed of learning and receiving style, share ideas, and comment on others' ideas.
