The title of the author's blog is "Udacity Statistics 101". The words "The Problems with Online Math Courses" don't appear in the blog. Its one perspective on a popular online university from an individual who clearly takes math education very seriously. I don't know much about online education. But i'm aware of its gaining traction and I keep hearing about its massive & unshakable lobby in Washington. So i find this article interesting, and we should all value criticism and rabble-rousing on any trend that is going to shake things up in our lifetimes as much as online education.
