Kaplan University made $1 Billion for Washington Post

Like 'em or hate 'em, fopros, online and brick and mortar types are here to stay.

I can't imagine Washington Post wanting to do away with the likes of Kaplan University which raked in over $1 billion in revenues for the daily rag in 2004. I haven't seen the figure for 2005.

That's a lot of money, and that's only one of the fopro entities.

University of Phoenix now boasts more than 100,000 students. That's a lot of papers to grade. I think most of them are enrolled in my English class.

Even the big schools are realizing that there is money to be made by delivering online. Harvard has online courses.

Big companies like to hire well-schooled freshmen (to the company). But the companies also like for their employees to continue their education online; it's much cheaper and much more convenient.

The public colleges and universities throughout the states still have a lot of buildings and a lot of faculty = dead weight.

I read of one assistant dean saying, "We can't throw them (the building and faculty) away."

I wonder why not.

What do you think?

i never took an online class before but i dont think i could do it. i can see that it is for some people convenient because they are busy with other things. i dont know about the learning process though, is it easier? harder? im i going to learn more or less? even though im sketchy on online courses for now i need a building, a class and a presence of a teacher.
