I wonder if it would not be possible to offer certified education at a reduced price using computers. It seems that if you can gain a much larger audiance you might be able to charge less per capita and still be able to let teh instructor eat and all. I have seen and been involved in some of this kind of thing, but I haven't seen anything that is certified with transferable credits AND is self paced. Why not?

RE: "certification"

As a solution to quality achievement in any area of human activity, this is a mirage. The idea of "certification" has experienced a revival of sorts in this computerized age as management discovered that not every geek could fix a broken network or write a reliable software application. At first it actually meant something to be certified. Now the process has been corrupted by "grade" inflation and "purchased" certificates. One now needs to certify the certifiers. Time to return to the guild system.

(New kid on the block,just waiving a hand.)

My wife got so mad at her computer the otherday that she shut it down,came into the kitchen and started to talk to me again.

I love my computer as it has thought me a new vocabulary of four letter words.

An amusing picture but what does it have to do with the question of whether computer use has a negative impact on the ability to learn and reatin information?
