More coverage of the report mentioned here yesterday. "C anada has lost its early lead, and a larger proportion of students in the United States are participating in distance education, said Paul Bennett, an education consultant and author of the Society for Quality Education report. 'We lost the competitive edge because we didn’t follow up the infrastructure and the deployment of computers to the schools with any meaningful initiatives to lower the walls and open the doors to online learning,' he said." True enough. And now it's very unlikely that the money will be there. But you know, should the money ever become available, I know we have a lot of people in Canada with the expertise and desire to make it happen. Related: a columnist in University Affairs makes the humble proposal that Canadian universities might want to embrace e-learning. Maybe some sort of massive open online course sort of thing.
