Professor Brian Lucey, Trinity (Irish Examiner): "Future of education in this country lies online"

Brian Lucey (faculty page) is professor of finance at Trinity College Dublin, brianmlucey.wordpress.com

January 26, 2013, The Irish Examiner

...In Ireland we see the success of Hibernia (YouTube), which operates a blended approach with mostly online lectures and some on the ground practical instruction in required areas...

...Despite the doom that is poured out that we have no university in the top 100, every single Irish university is in the top 5% of the THES rankings. Every one is world class. We have a world-class industry here. Within disciplines we have world-class researchers and teachers, in pretty much ever-single discipline.

A MOOC or 10 would demonstrate that to the public and to the wider world. Every international student is an export — lets place ourselves in the world shop window
