Future of Online Education

The push for Standardized Learning Objectives and discussions around verification of students in an online class will lead to the model used at Western Governors University.  The online class will be a platform for faculty to gather information to share with students, so they can take a standardized exam at a local testing center.
Once this model takes root, the next step will be to evaluate faculty based on success rate of the students on standardized exams.
I have mixed feelings about this vision of future.
