Ha, finally I saw one in advance of it's actual program date. I will be there.

I believe this method of delivering education will be THE wave of the future. When something is close to me it still is one to two hours of travel time each way. All it will take me to attend this is the actual program time.

Also when this method of delivery hits it's stride you can get as many students in the 'classroom' as want to be there. Stanford did an online physics class. Over 100,000 people signed up from all over the world. Of course there is a huge fall off rate...only 11,000 people completed the class with a pass. 11,000...most of whom were never going to come to Stanford if not on the net.

Thanks for this opportunity.
