http://www.latimes.com/technology/columnists/techcol/la-000070112aug30.column?coll=la%2Dbusiness%2Dtechnology%5Fcolumn Educational Disconnect in Online Learning Dave Wilson Since the dawn of the Internet age, boosters have predicted the end of leafy college campuses as schools go virtual. The miracle of the Internet was supposed to let great teachers reach any student, any time, anywhere. People all over the world would get the equivalent of a Harvard degree through a computer and a network connection. What a crock.... (ed. note: This critical commentary goes on to quote David Noble at length and to say online is useful to supplement on-campus education, not to deliver entire degree programs - obviously a position with which I do not agree.)
