America's real plague-higher education.


You are threatened by them, I see.

You should be, brick and mortar "old education" is obsolete, and we ALL know it.

Covid really exposes how worthless the old model of higher education really is.

You attack the enemy you fear, but the situation is no different in the horse and buggy schools.

 

You are threatened by them, I see.
...

Time to get your glasses checked.

No need, it's crystal clear.

You're no different than those who attack Walmart or Amazon. UOPX threatens your pocket book so you slander and libel them.

I note the first link you gave flat out lied that UOPX is not accredited.

On the contrary, if all this covid shit has proven anything, it's that remote learning is far inferior to learning in person.

For very young children, yes. A 5 year old can't focus on a computer and lacks self-discipline.

Quite the opposite in higher learning.

The moron with the man bun who has his teaching assistants lecture offers nothing to the students.

What you should REALLY fear is when people start to grasp that;


Is equal to the education you get from the horse and buggy schools OR the new era on-line schools.
 
...

No need, it's crystal clear.

...

Your guesses are "crystal clear"? I teach at a high school, and tutor students of all ages, including many college students. Among other things.

You didn't actually read the article you cited, did you? It in fact supports my claim...

You try to force the conversation to college only, then you mention Khan Academy? You realize that is used mostly by high school kids to supplement test prep and such? It's a good resource for kids motivated to use it.

It in no way supports your breathless hysteria. When this pandemic crisis finally passes, watch what happens.

You're still guessing, and still wrong.

And yet the source YOU cited supports my position.

Here is yet another opinion;

{

Many make the mistake of assuming that an online class will be easier than one taken in a traditional classroom. Often online instructors assign more reading materials than required in a regular classroom to ensure that students are engaged. Motivation is key to an online student’s success as is his ability to reach out to both instructors and fellow students using software such as Blackboard.

That software program seamlessly integrates social media, making it possible to create online communities that are course specific. Blogs, tweets, podcasts, webcasts, online chats, discussion boards, and virtual study jams are all part of the online mix. Success in an online course often depends on how connected a student feels to his instructor and fellow students.

I believe that online learning has the potential to revolutionize higher education. Students will be able to learn at their own pace and problems as simple as finding a place to park on campus will be eliminated. Public colleges and universities simply cannot build new facilities to accommodate all those who need credits in higher education. In addition, credit hours taken online particularly at a community college are often less expensive. It therefore makes good financial sense for a student to take core courses online at a community college and then transfer those credits to a four year institution.

Khan Academy serves all levels of education, from elementary to post graduate.

Do at least a modicum of research before you knee jerk into your routine of slander.

I understand that this is all a threat to the hegemony of entrenched educrats.

Further, Khan or University of Phoenix are not the issue, they are simply examples of a shift in learning that you rightly fear. You truly are the horse salesman screaming that horseless carriages will kill us all.

I should have known that a reasonable, balanced examination wouldn't get through your current hysteria. The vast majority of my students, high school and college, indicate a very strong preference for in-person learning. How about all the students you teach? What do they tell you?

I told you about who actually uses it most. This comes from a great deal of personal experience. Pay attention.

You've mentioned fear several times now. Just what is it you think I'm afraid of?

Change.

As a scientist who designs complex systems, I am an agent of change. I disrupt and challenge every assumption in order to effect greater efficiency in processes.

As an old guard educator, you are a guardian of dogma, convinced that what you teach is immutable and unchangeable truth. It is your nature to resist change. It is your profession to reject change.

It is my profession to facilitate change, to shake up the status quo.

What change? I've always worked in various educational contexts. I've done some form of remote learning (in addition to traditional learning) for almost 20 years. You're lashing out blindly here.

You really need to ask more questions and make fewer ridiculous assumptions. You're making yourself look like a buffoon at this point.
