The Evolving Role of Course Management System Providers - Jonathan Finkelstein and Matthew Pittinsky, the Technology Source

... Matthew Pittinsky [MP]: I am a big believer in the concept of a living-learning environment. A true educational experience is never confined to the classroom—it's found in the library, study hall, coffee shop, faculty offices, and more. Over time, the role for the physical campus to create a place for faculty, students, and others to come together in the pursuit of knowledge has diminished. Increased competition for time and new types of learners who commute or never come to campus have changed the landscape. What is exciting about e-learning is that it takes the Internet and turns it into a 24-7 education environment that can once again bring faculty, students, and others together in a common space.
