Online Education Flunks But New Focus May Spark Revival - Conrad de Aenlle, International Herald Tribune
Diane Harley, director of the Higher Education in the Digital Age Project at the University of California at Berkeley, said that Asian and Australian universities, as well as many in the United States, had implemented successful online learning programs. Educators say these initiatives, and other online ventures that are broader but less deep in scope, herald a second wind for e-learning. When the Internet was still new and e-anything was touted as holding all the promise of tomorrow, e-learning was expected to revolutionize education. It was promoted as a way to help stretch resources on crowded campuses and to teach people who might otherwise be unable or unwilling to attend conventional institutions.
