This article is a great example of the future of education, and not because it talks about super-civilizations of the future either. While incredibly interesting, the topic is really irrelevant. What is vital, though, is the format of the article.
First, it's written on line. Second, it's a hyper-text article. That means there are links galore that allow for the reader to delve into other cites and gain a much broader depth of knowledge - kind of like modern footnotes. Third, it's multi-media, notice the embedded video at the start of the page. Fourth, it includes graphics. Finally, it allows for feedback and discussion.
This is the format of every paper from now on.
