That was always a utopian dream. This Vygotsky-inspired babble is only really spouted by academics with too much time on their hands.

That said, I have seen a general increase in the use of technologies that are free.

No extra staff needed. And usually, no cost for the tools themselves.

-
Adapted from-and extending-the recommendations found in Chickering and Gamson's, Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1991), here are some of the most commonly agreed upon best practices for course design and development. They can be applied to both traditional and online courses, however some are particularly crucial to online course development.
