Abstract

The year 2020 has brought life-changing events for many and affected numerous professional sectors. Education has been one of those fields heavily impacted, and institutions have almost worldwide switched to forms of online education, which has become a common practice. With a fourth industrial revolution happening in front of our eyes, some elements of the existing education system are showing themselves as out- dated. However, despite the realization that online teaching is here to stay, frontal classes are a millennia-old practice that cannot be entirely replaced without neglecting human nature. Instead, old and new can coexist, and humanity and machines can cooperate for societal development. In this paper, we present the past, present, and future of education, what we have learned by the experience of teaching online, and how we see and are getting ready for future developments in the field.
