I think that one of the most telling arguments in favour of electronic publishing is the fact that the reviews of this book - portions of which appeard on the web five years ago - are just starting to come out. The fact that it is David Noble's book just makes the argument all the more delicious. Written for people who are likely to be supportive of Noble's hypothesis (that technology and commodification are ruining education), this review accurately taps into the weaknesses of Noble's presentation: the mischaracterization of online learning, the broad-brush generalizations.
