There are some good responses to Noble at

http://www.educause.edu/pub/er/review/reviewArticles/33322.html

Personally, I think Ben Schneiderman is right. He writes, in part,

"While there are many reasons to be cautious about distance learning and
Internet-supported education, David Noble is unhelpful in guiding us. His
fear-filled rhetoric and whipping of the boogie-monster of
entrepreneurial corruption of education is misleading, shallow and even
counterproductive...."
