The Polo Parable

Simple parable communicating the importance of evaluating online learning by its own characteristics (not merely through the lens of classrooms): The Polo Parable "We need to reach out via this collection of technologies to those from who opportunity has separated itself for whatever reason. But, just as importantly, we need to address online instruction on its own terms, and not pretend that it is just a slightly resolution-impaired photocopy of the face-to-face classroom experience."
