Examples: Thanks to technology, Ivy League school, Brown University is now launching an Executive MBA. 

Other quotes in article:

“Everybody participates, even the shy people…”

“This is the Starbucks model, not the Walmart model. You don’t economise on faculty. Blended programmes are as expensive as on-campus programmes and they will become more expensive..”

Web based education articles.

2) Mobiles and MP3s make their mark. Web-enabling course materials for students. Blackboard is old stuff.
