How Online Can Save Small, Private Colleges from Going Under (EdSurge.com): A passage in this article "How Going Online Can Save Small Private Colleges," stood out to me as it addresses an *identity* problem I think many folks struggle with at BYU-Idaho (both campus and online):
"The challenge for many small colleges is that they see online courses as at odds with their very identity. After all, these institutions embrace intimacy as central to their mission, with close, mentoring relationships between faculty and students, and deep, comradely connections among students—essential ingredients of highly engaged learning. For many, online fails to meet these crucial education ambitions. Instead, they reject virtual instruction as alienated learning, with isolated faculty and students coldly facing inert computer screens—not one another."

It is about blended learning, but the part that was intriguing is the summary statement about methods of measuring the effectiveness of a class, and also where the gaps are. Given our perpetual question about how to measure outcomes, I found this to be a helpful benchmark.
