  • Abstract
    Three new free Stanford online courses drew 300,000 applicants in the fall semester of 2011. Might very high-quality courses with the best streaming lectures, student aids, exams, quizzes, mentoring, and so on facilitate an import export approach to e-learning? Here, the author examines a significant and increasingly troubling problem - the university structure´s inability to achieve unit cost reductions through e-learning interventions.
