The thrust behind this Chronicle article is that nobody has found a way for online learning to be economically viable. This would be a surprise to those companies, such as, say, Saba, who are already making a lot of money, or SmartPlanet, who use e-learning as a way of advertising print publications, or the U.S. Military, or Cisco... maybe the real message is: if you set up online learning to duplicate university offerings, and charge a premium, you will not make money. By Goldie Blumenstyl, the Chronicle of Higher Education, July 9, 2001.
