Teaching at a Distance

[Sloan, Bernie]

Interesting article in the free online version of the Chronicle of Higher
Education detailing a University of Illinois report on distance learning.
The report ("Teaching at an Internet Distance"), while not University of
Illinois policy, offers an interesting viewpoint. The Chronicle notes that
"The report offers a mixed review of online education, arguing that it
'shows both promise and peril.' "
