Wednesday 10:20: Live blog on the future of online ed
At 10:20 tomorrow, here on On Campus I'll be live-blogging the discussion that MPR's The Daily Circuit is having with both a professor and an entrepreneur on the future of online education -- and online universities, to be exact.
Are they the future? Or, as The Daily Circuit puts it more compellingly:
How will online universities change the way we learn, and can we really expect them to replace a traditional college experience?
