Internet

As much of a toxic place as the internet can be, you can also learn something new every time you go online. Such pieces of information don’t necessarily need to add value to your life, but it’s always nice to pick up something that enriches your knowledge in some way.

The All Things Known subreddit is one excellent source. It features facts about existence, reality, or the universe, as the page profile indicates. Topics here are broad, from how illicit substances affect the brain to how plumbing worked during the Medieval Age.

Here are some images from the pages that stood out to us. Enjoy!

These days, you can learn valuable information online without necessarily consulting an actual textbook. Research journals have been published over the years that delve into specific topics, such as aspects of science, psychology, and human behavior.

As a result, it also changed the classroom dynamic between student and teacher. An article by Purdue University points out that traditional classrooms have the educator as the “sage on the stage.” However, the influence of digital technology has shifted the teacher’s role to that of a “guide on the side.”

The Purdue article also noted that today’s technology allows teachers to be more versatile in the learning materials they create. Nowadays, they can find ways to enable more collaborative studying, for one.

“With the worldwide reach of the Internet and the ubiquity of smart devices that can connect to it, a new age of anytime, anywhere education is dawning,” an excerpt from the article reads.

We have also entered the age of artificial intelligence, where platforms like ChatGPT have become a go-to for research, absorbing new information, and work-related tasks.

According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, 46% of American adults under 30 have used the platform to learn something new. Meanwhile, 45% of employed adults have used ChatGPT to help them at work.

However, the shift to online learning has been happening for a while now, even before the pandemic hit. According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics, 2.4 million students were already pursuing their education exclusively online in the fall of 2019.

When the pandemic hit, less than six months later, the number jumped to 7 million students, accounting for a 200% increase.

With the internet and digital technology continuing to evolve, we can expect a complete shift in the years to come. Slowly but surely, they are seeing the benefits of online learning.

A 2023 study by MIT even revealed that students taking an online course scored as well, and even better than in-person learners, despite the reduced instructor time. A study by the Open University also found that online courses result in 85% fewer CO2 emissions, proving that it is likewise becoming a sustainable option.
