Re: [xmca] Is College Moving Online? : The New Yorker

[Andy Blunden <ablunden@mira.net>]

There seems to be a determined drive to get teachers and teaching out of 
the education system doesn't there?
I was going to ironically remark that it would be easier just to sell 
library cards to people, then I realised that libraries are also 
disappearing and in any case the students are too busy in the jobs to 
visit the library and everything's on line anyway. It seems that we are 
moving inevitably towards issuing certificates on the basis of 
satisfactory scores on multiple-choice test cards on the college web 
site, and giving up all pretence of being involved in education. Sad.
