Outsourcing Education!?

Online Learning: The Next Great Debate is an article written by Dr. Katie Klinger on edutopia.com. I thought this was very interesting for two reasons. First of all I thought it was so cool that there actually is something called Open University (OU), which is an online school for students all over the world. Secondly I thought is was very interesting, because evidently the teachers are being "outsourced" from India. The tutors from India are willing to do the work for half the cost of the UK teachers so they are getting the jobs.

I guess with the excitement of the possibilities of online learning, I never considered that fact that it will create more competition for jobs and the lowest bidder will get the work! Kind of scary when we are talking about education.
