A very long and interesting article. The drift of it is that online courses are cheap but they dont deliver the value of the class room experience, esp. in higher education. There was some discussion on whether college is expensive because there are so many non-teaching administrators. I guess universities could use less of the corporate model and more of the startup. I suppose that I would counter with, is a mediocre classroom experience any better than a mediocre online experience? Judging from my girlfriend's experience taking a graphics design course at the local community college, I would say that the classroom experience is better because there are humans to interact with. (She is a former college level math teacher, so she aint dumb.)
