Virtual Learning and Unions
My guess is no because of:
My entire family has taken online classes, and they have positives and negatives. A huge positive is they are more convenient, and reduce the commute. And for a lecture class, what difference does it make if its online or not. One of my daughter's college finance teachers commented that the online students were getting higher grades, than the regular students taking the class - she took it online last summer. For a small seminar class, I agree, an in person experience would be better. The problem is most classes are lectures to a large audience based on a Prussian Model, that has changed little in the last hundred years.
