After reading the response from Lucia Cucciarelli, from the department of
lifelong learning, I was given to wondering whether the advent of on-line
learning could possibly spell the end of traditional eduaction
establishments.The growth of home-based interaction and education through
the internet,as in the case of the British governments 'LearnDirect'
initiative, seems to me to give governmental departments, bent on saving
money, the opportunity to scale down, radically, access to public facilities
such as college learning resource centres.
