It would seem that online courses could eventually become the norm, not the exception, for higher education enrollments. Currently, the model for online learning is highly text-based, unlike the audio demonstration we just had. With video available, the paradigm may shift back to a model where instructors can videotape their lessons, along with synchronized presentations and web links to amplify their presentations. So, I am curious, if you had the choice of doing an online class as a series of text exercises (WebCT, Blackboard) with e-mail and an occasional phone call, or an online analog of an interactive audio-only, or online multimedia classroom, in which would you prefer to take part? Which do you think your students would prefer?
