[quote=Anonymous]Rumor had it this was part of the "philosophical differences" between Theresa Sullivan and the UVA BOV - the board wanted to move more aggressively into online education and she didn't. I think it has less to do with controlling costs and more to do with creating an additional revenue stream - even for non-profit universities. The academic mindset is that it dilutes the degree, the business mindset is universities are going to have to do it to survive. I personally have not taken an online course but I think it probably can be done well... with technology being what it is I think it probably will become a cost of entry for all universities before too long. It's a little unfortunate that the "diploma mills" came out of the gate early and gave online ed such a bad rap. [/quote]
