Online education is the future.” So says Clemson University’s Witt Salley. This future holds no classroom desks whose consoles, rocket fins and banks of brightly blinking buttons place them closer to cockpits than actual seating. There will be no matronly robot teachers with extensible pointing sticks in this future. No, in this future we’ll see an increasing numbers of pushes for a tablet in every book bag, like the one in Gov. Nikki Haley’s K-12 Education Reform Initiative. This future is agleam with the prospect of attending precalculus in your pajamas. Witt Salley is director of Clemson Online. The school brought him on board to ramp up its online education program in July 2012, a time when Clemson University “had no collective vision or strategy” for its online program. It didn’t even have a centralized office for its online offering.
