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.
No one is putting Web-based education to better use than our industry friends. We need to pay heed.
