Integrity in Online Education - 1 views

  •  
    This short article hits on a small portion of our course discussion material for the week-- academic integrity in online education. The article discusses some of the issues with cheating online, and makes some suggestions as to who the responsibility falls on. It also brings up some less-known issues surrounding online education, such as "diploma mills" and universities' negligence of their online students. Enjoy!

    Mark, I found this article interesting. I totally agree that online learning has opened new avenues for con-men. I see ads and get spam mail regarding online degrees. I disagree with the last section on the cost of the online classes. Burks addressed this issue in a reply to someone on our class discussion board. It is more expensive than we realize to run an online class program. I wish I could call to mind some of the cost issues involved. Perhaps Burks will comment on this.

  • It's the latest chapter in an evolving debate about the place of innovation in higher education. Is outsourcing teaching -- especially for huge and often poorly run introductory courses -- a way for colleges to catch up with other industries and rein in out-of-control costs? Or does it mean gutting what makes universities special?

      This is an interesting concept - to outsource the teaching of introductory courses.

    This seems really bad for higher education (IMHO).

Editorial - Yes, You Owe That Tax - NYTimes.com - 3 views

      What about local municipalities? They are losing tax revenue as well.
  • They also cost the states billions of dollars a year in lost sales tax revenue — money that cash-starved states cannot afford to forgo.
