I enjoyed Andy Kessler's column Professors Are About to Get an Online Education. He writes about some of the recent experiments in the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). There has been a lot of push back because MOOCs threaten teacher's livelihood. Andy makes a great point:
-----------
I was upbraided for not understanding the plight of teachers. The plight of students, as is too often the case in discussions of education, didn't seem to rate the same concern.
-----------
If you are interested in the future of MOOCs the column is worth reading.
