The recent message from Patt Haring, describing the Connect Ed program 
at the New School, developed into an interesting discussion in my 
Computers and Society class.  Essentially, what kept coming up was 
that the students tried to evaluate this new form of education using 
a traditional model of college life.

I would like to propose that this is a wrong approach, as programs
such as Connect Ed foster a new, wider, model of what it means to
"go to college" and that in fact, they may imply a separate model
of college education.

Any thoughts?
