Virtual Professor + Virtual Student = Real Education [Archive.org URL]

Professor Richard B. Kettner-Polley made the leap from a traditional professor at the beginning of his career at the University of Arizona to his current position as Senior Academic Director at University College of the University of Denver.

For a period of one year at ISIM, he was the only full-time faculty member, worked with 100 students in a dozen countries, and gave exactly one face-to-face lecture.

The article below was excerpted from a paper written by Professor Kettner-Polley that was originally presented at the International Conference on the Social Impact of Technology in St. Louis, Missouri, in October 1998. It was also published by ALN magazine, Spring 1999.
