About a month ago, we reported in the Newsbeam (September 15, 2009) on a new open courseware system that would permit students to take courses for $99/month. As one might imagine, that lead to a vigorous series of discussions in a number of fora.  In particular, the Professional and Organizational Development Network (POD) had a very lively one on their list serve.  Monica has forwarded to me a list of links from POD that give some of the flavor of the discussion.
