And from a moboile-centric viewpoint, I think you are on the right path. The economic downturn is making people from all areas of life evaluate what is being done and how. And on the education side, the hit of an economic downturn will cause a good deal of replanning for how technology is used. I think that some will want to scale back, but others, like Alberdine Christian University, will embrace and accelerate change. Which in the end needs to happen, especially on the side of relevant educational tools and processes to skillfully equip current and future generations. You know, I get what you are saying here.

Even if the layoff were only for a few months, they wouldn't have to stop if they were called back to work. If it is a longer term recession, the layoff wouldn't put their lives on hold - they would have developed academic skills required for advancement during their jobless period. Those people who interrupted their education could have the opportunity to build their self confidence by graduating rather than concentrating on feelings of loss and disempowerment.

The flexibility allows single parents to not fall behind if a child gets sick and can't go to daycare. It also eliminates a major hurdle for students with disabilities as the notes are posted online. As well, online courses often provide both the questions and the answers, whereas in the classroom, a teacher may allocate too much time explaining material in the beginning of the class and run out of time for working through solutions to problems the students had difficulty with in their homework. There are also huge differences between being taught a course by an experienced teacher compared to a new teacher. The first time a teacher teaches a course, students really suffer if the teacher can't distinguish between teaching everything poorly or teaching the most important material really well.
