A college education is quite a different thing now from what it was fifty, twenty, or even ten years ago. There was a time when going to college and getting a degree was a rare decision to be made, and for many it was out of reach altogether. Now, going to college is almost considered to be a given for most students who graduate from high school. The default choice has changed from being 'whether or not you want to go to college' to 'which college will you be going to, and do you plan to go to grad school.' There have been two major developments in higher education in recent decades that are both causes and effects of this change. The first is that getting a college education has become less expensive. There are many more schools now than there were a few decades ago, which gives students a greater range of choices, and also drives down the cost of tuition through competition. The second is that college has become a more accessible goal. Because there are so many more of them, going to college does not mean flying halfway across the country to get educated. In many case, cities even have their own local community colleges, which means that almost anyone can get a degree with minimal interruption to their everyday lives. The logical end of a situation where advanced schooling is becoming more accessible and more affordable leads us to this question: should colleges offer courses online? This is an important question, because as the ability for people to stream video on their computers spreads, and as technology makes it more and more possible for people to interact with each other over almost any distance, it is important to consider whether or not students need to be in a classroom in order to learn. It is also important to think of what the word 'classroom' even means in this context. There is a definite stigma against the idea of an 'online university.' However, it is foolish to deny the fact that in many cases, especially in core, general education courses in college, the lectures are the same year-in, year-out, and it makes more sense to just make a video and have students study that. Certainly there are some courses that thrive on discussion and intense interaction, and that kind of course is very difficult to switch to an online medium, but there many, many courses out there that would be no less effective if they were changed over to an online format. Many teachers will cry out in objection to this assertion. Some of them will be right--what they are teaching is too complex, and too inextricably tied to the classroom experience to be moved online. But many of them object out of pride, out of belied that what they are teaching can not be boiled to a list of facts and ideas, to be memorized (let's face it) the night before a big test. Look at the bright side. If we can honestly look at the full spectrum of college courses, and if we can decide which ones are really just as meaningful and effective if taught over the internet, then we can make a huge volume of information more available to more people than it ever was before. The future of education is coming one way or another, we may as well meet it head on, with students' best interests in mind.
