My dear friend Andrew Cohen wonders over at facebook if my previous post isn’t a tad self-serving, and if, perhaps, students might disagree with my skepticism about online education. Actually, the students seem to agree with me. Just watch:

Note that Jerry Brown wants the student regent to “just get real” and deal with the gap between the rising cost of education and the legislature’s unwillingness to live up to the promise of the California Master Plan. The answer, Governor Brown insists, is online education. No, that’s just a very politically convenient and pedagogically dubious answer, Governor Brown. UC students understand this.
