"Think You'll Make Big Bucks in Online Ed? Not So Fast, Experts Say"
"“If you look back over time, and read anything about the major online initiatives that have failed,” he told the audience, “one of the things that’s characteristic of all of them is they went into business intending to make a lot of money on online learning and blended learning. It just doesn’t happen that way.”" - Joel Hartman, vice provost and chief information officer at the University of Central Florida, quoted in Think You'll Make Big Bucks in Online Ed? Not So Fast, Experts Say - Wired Campus - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Western Govs U (WGU) vs. Tuition-Free? Univ. of People
How many children of the founders of WGU have ever enrolled in WGU courses? How many have opted for any online alternatives to traditional college? I ask these questions when I'm feeling especially cynical. Not feeling so cynical about Univ. of the People
Below are some milder comments followed by excerpts from 2011, 1998, 1999. Let me know if you find any juicier clips of WGU's over-zealous claims which so dramatically exceeded its accomplishments.
Meanwhile, is WGU the real "phoenix" among universities? Re-rising when financial crisis meets burgeoning, unpredictable online options? Proving again that "necessity is the mother of self-deception"? NOTE: The new University of the People seems to be more modestly and reasonably addressing the growing educational needs of those whose alternative is no higher education at all.
