The beauty of "online" education is that one professor who is among the best in his field can replace all other professors who aren't online. Once the internet takes over education, masses of teachers, administrators, and supervisors are going to be looking for work. The smart ones will find a living as tutors to students needing a boost.
AGREED
And THAT will be the free college the government supplies in the future. I am fine with that. Have local facilities that provide labs and the required hands on situations.
If you want professors to be rock stars....that’s how you will do it. Also, you could pay them like rock stars.
There was nothing in my first two years that needed to be taught on site.
But...kids don’t want free college. They want the college experience. And they won’t get that “on line.”
