This is a 'created in partnership with' article, and therefore probably an advertisement (the surest sign is that there is no paywall). But I'm linking to it anyway to people can be clear about the vision being offered here. At first, the author - a professor - reacts negatively to being assigned to teach a 'course shell'. "It dawned on me: I was basically going to be a glorified grader for my colleagues' courses." But then he learns to adapt and be grateful: "the department can exercise quality control over our programmes"; "this has meant a lot more time for engaging with students on discussion boards"; "the students are clearly learning a lot"; "the shell protects me from outside forces and gives me a home." Oh! For the more realistic world of Hallmark Romances.
