You’ll learn how the Internet differs from a long line of failed technologies designed to revolutionize education, what today’s online courses share with their 1840’s correspondence-course brethren, why traditional instruction resembles “Lake Wobegon,” and the underlying revolution that’s really fueling the explosion in online courses. | ||
