University of Phoenix/"distance" library & a gedanken experiment

[thom]

Rather than reply to any and everyone who wants to argue that the physical
place or book must exist, completely ignoring that the bit is actually
physical, can you imagine a student who studies at a distance completely
relying on online resources to learn and having a deep learning
experience?

A blind person with a text to speech set up tapped into Project Gutenberg
and the web? The type of child Papert talks about in 'The Children's
Machine? 

If you can imagine that such a person could exist and learn deeply than
that person(s) either exists or will exist. How do you support them?
Anyone want the challenge? Sounds like fun to me.

Thoughts?
