I started a little training process for various staff, but it didn't solve the manpower issue. That's when a couple school districts I was working with asked me to take a look at training the kids. The Western Governors University is a virtual university. That does not make it less real. It has real students, real teachers, and most of all, a real and very realistic purpose.
Some academic exercises are simply mysteries of faith.
These, such as this one and most episodes of The X Files, are best left unquestioned. I first saw computer-using students, who for one small portion of their lives, had control over something that was theirs. And I saw them holding mature conversations via the Internet with adults around the country, including universities. Everywhere Time is money. Time is also space.
