I hope not! I have taught one fully online course as part of my regular
teaching load - it took far more time than a traditional course. You might
get rich before having total mental collapse, not to mention debilitating
RSI from mousing and keyboarding. Online education is extremely
time-consuming and difficult to get right. Yes you can create podcasts and
have people in several places listen to them, but the first time I created
one it took me about 11 hours to produce 14 minutes (or was that 14 hours to
produce 11 minutes) :-)

I was just about to forward to my dept a psychteach post from today that
"advertizes" someone's services as a distance learning professor--he is
looking for more courses to teach.
This is what I envision: a few enterprising people getting very rich
teaching maybe 50 or 100 online courses a semester--same course offered
through many colleges nationwide--and maybe sponsored by not just pharma
companies, but any company--blog sites, twitter come to mind as well as
any electronics that could be used with the course for say, listening to
podcasts, and seeing video segments, and finally any foods or beverages
(alcoholic included, after all pharma is there already) that young college
students like.
The future of education??

I can see it now:
"Welcome to Psy327 - Psychopharmacology, brought to
you by Eli Lilly, makers of Prozac. When you're
feeling down, ask your doctor about Prozac. And now
on to the course..."
