When job candidates who have been educated online start sending applications for faculty positions at your universities, we'll see what you all really think of online education.

I have a special folder for people that apply for a position and have a degree from an online school.

Incidentally, I have found the push for online education on my campus personally rather useful.  It used to be that if I planned to go to a conference mid-semester I'd have to jump  through all kinds of hoops to explain how I would get my classes covered.  Now all I have to do is record and post the lectures, then say that that's how I'm handling the absence.  As much as my superiors would like to argue that this is not sufficient, they are hamstrung by official policy recognizing asynchronous learning as equivalent to f2f. - DvF

 Nowadays you can do anything on the internet, even gather quotes for your Composition 101 essay on the topic of Online Education that is due tomorrow.
So prefer whiteboards to chalk. I don't really like PowerPoint, but it depends on the subject and the structure of the class. And I use my computer mostly for multimedia.
