Anyone who thinks that you can teach online classes well, or even
adequately, at $100 per student has rocks in their head, or is just
talking about 'learn to assemble a better widget'
training courses. And to say that the assessment can be all multiple
choice makes my blood boil! I'd love to see his projected retention
rates!
I got into the design of online education courses largely to
counter that sort of talk at my university too. Guess what: the
people who thought that you could put together programs for peanuts
didn't end up producing anything - we did.
