You are correct -- thank you for the details.
A couple of philosophical questions for the LM_NET group:
Can legitimate distance learning opportunities be offered by
legitimate organizations that do not have a brick and mortar campus
(after all Amazon.com does not have a brick and mortar store and I
would think most would consider them legitimate -- does education
differ and why?)
Also if one is taking a distance learning course it would see to me
that a library at the place of origin is not a drawing point. Access
to an appropriate library close to the student's location would be of
great concern. Thoughts on this topic!
