The Rise of Colleges without Classes or Professors

[Tedium]

Here's an article that has a more positive outlook on online education, even sharing statistics substantiating the efficacy of programs like WGU:

I think the moral of the story is that there is value to many forms of education. A fresh out of high school person might find more value with CC or University. A driven highschool student might find more value with supplementing their HS education with online, DE or AP courses. A busy adult may find more value in a flexible self paced online program. Neither method is inherently better or worse than another because it comes down to what's the best fit for an individual.

I know I’m biased, and there is truth in what you say. It does come down to what’s the best fit for the individual. It is still very frustrating to see these educators unwilling to accept change. They are placing arbitrary roadblocks in the students’ paths instead of helping to integrate methods of course delivery that are more beneficial to some students or areas of study. I mean, the accurate transmission and retention of knowledge is supposed to be our primary concern as teachers and students, right?
