J. Jeffrey Campbell of San Diego State University does not believe digital courses have to be impersonal just because interactions are through a computer. Campbell writes that one key step is limiting the number of students in a cohort, even though online presents the opportunity for near-unlimited scale. This is important for advanced degrees that cater to individuals who are active in their careers. “Online education has been around since the early ’90s, and it was never intended as an alternative to face-to-face learning,” he said.
