I agree. I am now teaching in a masters program that attracts mainly mid-career professionals, and each semester more of our offerings are online because this is what the students want. I suspect that we will end up with a hybrid model that is becoming particularly popular for these kinds of programs. And so, a quick request: since I am involved in this transition, I wonder if there is a single book or series of articles--something that is all in one place that addresses the best practices and pitfalls in this direction. It would be great if it applied directly to professional programs. Thanks!
