... (ah haa ... eureka)
Having premised my earlier remarks on the ill-advised use by administrators of
the term "pedagogical requirements" as in the common academic excuse that
distance learning must be "pedagogically sound" and therefore, erroneously,
quite expensive.

Perhaps that injury could be cured by referencing distance learning back to the
principles of andragogy. How well does Malcolm Knowles construct lend it to
this remedy?
