Education Guardian surveys the online HE sector without even bothering to mention Ultraversity.


EducationGuardian.co.uk | E-learning | Breaking with convention: "Online delivery and distance learning were touted as the means of widening participation in higher education for employed adults, part-timers, people with special needs, and armies of students in emerging economies such as Russia, south-east Asia and China.

But virtual learning environments (VLEs) failed to deliver as cutting edge technology outstripped pedagogy and the essential human dimension. Quality suffered and a catastrophically high rate of students dropped out of online degrees. "
