Ontario’s e-learning plan misses the mark

I don't agree with most of what Rosie DiManno says in this column opposing the Ontario government's proposal to require students to take e-learning courses. Everybody DiManno talks to hates the idea, which leads me to wonder just what exactly she is saying to them. And she thinks this is better? "To keep students in the classroom, minimize distractions and promote coursework engagement with teachers, as well as each other." When I was in school the classroom was the last place I wanted to be. Sure, there will probably be errors in the way the Ontario government rolls out e-learning. But there will be creative successes, too. And the government can access people with a lot of background in the field who already work for them - the people at eCampus Ontario or Contact North, for example.
