<p>hoedown,</p>
<p>The classes at Stanford are actually the same, no chalk, no classroom required. Both the EPGY class and the summer online class were the same. I don’t mean to single out Stanford in this example but it is the data I have. Not sure why there is a difference in price.</p>

<p>I don’t mind the more capital-intensive instructional techniques. I have often wondered where education will be in say 25 years. I am not a big fan of the University of Phoenix but some of what they are doing is sure to change the economics of the industry. Further, I suspect that the Open Courseware initiative at MIT and online classes at a number of schools will change things quite a bit.</p>
