The Classroom

　　In the near future，professors will run their courses over digital platforms where data on each student’s progress can be collected.These platforms were initially developed for massive open online courses，or MOOCs.However，universities are now folding these platforms back into their traditional classes because they make it easier to share content，host discussions and keep track of students’ work.A professor might still “teach” a class，but most of the interaction will happen online.If professors and students do meet in a physical classroom，they will review materials or work through problems.

　　The Calendar

　　As more classes move partially or entirely online，the requirements of having a uniform start and end date diminish(缩小)．Having all the class materials online also means some students could sail through a semester’s worth of classes in a few weeks and then start again with new courses.Some might finish a bachelor’s degree in two years.Those who stick around for four years might have three majors.

　　The Institution

　　More universities are making their courses available through online platforms such as Coursera and edX，and great lectures can be found on YouTube.Students are supplementing(补充) their own school’s classes with online lectures from rock­star professors at other institutions.

　　More and more，this type of learning will become part of college life.“Students will be able to acquire knowledge globally，across different campuses，” says Ron Kraemer，chief information and digital officer at the University of Notre Dame.
