This article is completely focused on the United States, so it can't be said to make a statistical case for anything, but despite that, what Clay Shirky says here is right: "What the mega-university story gets right is that online education is transforming higher education. What it gets wrong is the belief that transformation must end with consolidation around a few large-scale institutions."
