The Chronicle of Higher Education recently published this commentary by Margaret Brooks: “The Excellent Inevitability of Online Courses” (2009).

Brooks argues that the integration of technology into society, rather than the economy or convenience, is what drives the development of online courses. She presents eight reasons for colleges to offer online courses, which could be useful arguments to anyone who wants to persuade opponents of online learning into giving the matter more consideration.

It’s a short, to-the-point article, and worth a quick read. The online version will be available to non-subscribers of the Chronicle for the next five days.
