Do you think online education would replace part or most of the face-to-face education?
If you don’t think this would happen, see this and this computers can and have successfully replaced teachers:
Cash-strapped school districts, from Florida to Washington, have discovered that minimally supervised students hunched over laptops can outperform their lectured counterparts for a fraction of the cost.
As long as schools measure performance simply by rote memorization on multiple-choice tests, no teacher can compete with instant access to the world’s information. Unless schools change, more and more teachers will find themselves replaced by computers.

Tony Bates remarks in his post and I responded here.
Educating the world, with more automation seems to be the trend that wouldn’t be turned back. Productivity is the key to mass education, and the wheel would move on. So, we might be better off in checking the pulse of such changes, and adapt to them, in response. Education is a great business for every one to get into, in order to lead us to a great future.
