      <![CDATA[I have a friend who is a professor at Baruch and she doesn't even want students who took AP courses because she feels the in-class discussion is at least half of the education and you only get that with a variety of people from different backgrounds. And I agree with Arch, I really don't want the doctor who is working on my shoulder to have an on-line degree.  <br>
<br>
I remember when I had my shoulder cleaned out in Danbury CT and while being positioned in the OR with the arrow written on my chest pointing to my right shoulder, and there was the surgeon reading a book "Surgery of the Shoulder".  I questioned him about it and he said that recently, he mostly did knee replacements but had done 100's of shoulders and he wanted to refresh his knowledge. I had no problems.

      <![CDATA[I'm looking forward to going to a surgeon who got his degree on-line.  Looking forward to having an accountant who got his degree on-line do my taxes.  Looking forward to driving my car over bridges built by on-line engineers.

      <![CDATA[For so many this is a cart before the horse scenario.<br>
<br>
Those who would likely benefit most from online education are least likely to be able to access it at all with our third world internet infrastructure and increasingly tiered usage pricing the neoliberal USA seems to insist upon keeping. Why the time and energy savings  alone if suburban and rural Americans didn't have to commute could be enormous.

      <![CDATA[With ever expanding college costs set against a free medium where the world's best professors can teach everyone, somethings gotta give. It's the future folks, headed right down the road at you (two constants in life, change and resistance to change.) All those big salaries and big profits from brick and mortar schools are headed south.<br>
<br>
A lot of brick and mortar is eventually going to follow once people figure it out. Think of the energy savings on all that travel.

      <![CDATA[I'm sure Internet College coming, but I believe going to school on a campus with a real student body is a big part of one's education. In too many ways, stay-at-home classes reduces the student's horizon.<br>
Otherwise, how would you learn proper beer bar manners? Eh, Cato?

      <![CDATA[Cheating would be the last thing an online school should have to worry about.  A student who would cheat in an online course would find a way to cheat anyway.  Most who study online do it for self-improvement.
