It's being called "the great onlining" and there's no shortage of commentary, both good and bad. Among the good I think is this: "Most importantly, what we want to avoid is using old 19th Century teaching methods on new 21st Century technologies to merely dump large volumes of undigested information down large digital diameter pipes to relatively inactive and passive learners. This pump it down a pipe analogy is the "ugly" and uncomfortable reality of online education when done poorly. Unfortunately, too often the default model of online education is just borrowing old delivery methods of teaching and supplanting them onto new online learning spaces and digital technologies with no transformative advantage."
