I am currently teaching a course on Organizational Culture. This course is taught through an online platform, Blackboard, asynchronously, which means as a class we do not all "meet" at the same time.
I recently had a discussion with some folks which is becoming more and more familiar--something to the effect of: "Do you really think the quality of education is as good if you don't meet face to face?". To be honest, it is usually people of my generation (boomers) who are likely to question the value of online education. However, it is certainly a fair question.
