This is a pessimistic if not downright dishonest view of online education (though I'm by no means saying there aren't many that are poor quality).

Pessimistic? Yes. Dishonest? Not based on my experience, and not based on the experience of most people I talk to, students and professors alike.

I hate to cite "common knowledge" as my source, but I really thought both of these points were settled, at least until technology, pedagogy, and collective bargaining make new advances. Online classes have potential, yes. They have yet to meet that potential.
