The reason I am involved in online learning is not simply that it is Cool Stuff (though it is that) but because it affords the possibility of probviding an education to everyone. That's the spirit in which I pass along this article. The Cyber University is being proposed by the Thai government "to increase education opportunities by providing low cost, life-long education to students and the general public online." That - and not making money, or off-loading education costs - is the right approach, in my mind.
