Which teacher would you rather have: a lecturer who doesn t take any questions, or a tutor who works with you 1on1 Everyone prefers the tutor, but the millions of online learners around the world are stuck with the lecturer. After all, if you want to teach a million students at once, it s a lot easier to make a onesizefitsall video than it is to design a personalized experience that s tailored to each student. WissnerGross is changing all that. After reviewing stateoftheart scalable learning, he shows how a single tutor can give personalized instruction to a billion students at once.
