This is a link to Tony Hursh's guide of how (not) to create an online degree program. Amusing, but rather insightful for those of us creating online content.

Students cannot ignore issues of connectivity surrounding the internet. "For most children, the key to success will continue to be sharp critical skills, strong connections, effective communication and the nerve to be creative and entrepreneurial. The difference is that we are living at a time in which all of those skills are defined by one's proficiency in connected media. Furthermore, for students facing poverty, violence and disability, online learning networks can provide empowering educational experiences that transcend the circumstances of the classroom. Ultimately, the school that ignores the connection will be the school that we will identify as a failing institution. It is therefore even crueler that policymakers obsessed with standardized test results - like Ms. Rhee and her many disciples - ignore what the connection represents."
