Article
“Will the Web Kill Colleges?” (Chaffee, 2012, p. 91), written by Zephyr Teachout.
Key points of the argument
The author of the article “Will the Web Kill Colleges”, Zephyr Teachout states that students don’t have to be in a classroom to be able to ask questions or to learn. The author states. “Online classes are cheaper to produce.” (Chaffee 2012). Another key point suggests that web courses will allow the lower income students to have better opportunities to obtain a college degree. The high cost of tuition for a traditional Ivy League university with the traditional classroom settings would also entice students to look toward online courses with the comforts of your own home environment.
Evidence supports the argument Teachout
