Mark Brown takes apart this sloppy opinion piece in the Times higher education supplement. "In sum, short opinion pieces that imply face-to-face teaching is the 'Gold Standard' for promoting good learning and the 'art of conversation' might go unchallenged in the real time debates. However, the good news is that such critiques do not stand up as well to wider public scrutiny when published online and subject to further analysis." (The debate reminds me of the same sloppy and superficially reasoned arguments we employees have been given to force us back into 'real' offices). Via Marcus Green.
