Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com - 0 views

While there is definite potential for the "correspondence course" model they mention above to still be present, there are myriad ways in which online learning can be extremely communal. What I love about it is that it automatically eliminates pacing concerns in that students can move through material at a rate that is more to their style.
