Online and distance learning have been called a noble cause because they bring learning to the disenfranchised--people for whom the traditional classroom just doesn't work. And there are plenty of them. The University of Phoenix is one of the largest, private universities that has really taken online learning and run with it. Estimates shows that they have 150,000 or more students taking courses online from around the world. And that's just one, private university.
So with that said, we all know there are thousands and thousands more of us out there who think online education is the way to go. But what do you really think about its ability to sustain and grow as a viable source of education? Do you think it will change the world by bringing knowledge to all of its corners? Or do you think it's more likely to affect only those who would have had other educational opportunities, but simply chose online instead?
