Here is one of the wrong steps you can make when you deploy e-learning. In this case, a teachers' union is charging that a school's practice of using a computer to teach students is "illegal" because the students are no longer being taught by a certified teacher. The key seems to be the fact that some teachers signed off on grades for students they had never actually met and who had actually been evaluated by computer. It doesn't help that there were "glitches" in the deployment. Take this one as a cautionary tale.
