Online technology is not just for distance learners. It can be used to enhance education for on-campus students, too, because providing lecture material by video in advance can free up classroom time for more interactive discussion. “When I heard about online education, my first reaction was to say, wait a minute, that’s so impersonal,” said Maya Adam, a lecturer in human biology. “The magic for me is the performance of a great lecture and that inspiration you get from a really great teacher. What was surprising to me was the fact that I had more of that. I had the ability to engage the students more.” Charles Prober, senior associate dean in the Stanford School of Medicine, said this realization was incorporated into the very name of his school’s online effort.
