It's not fair - the robot has to go to class and do all the shlep-work, but we don't let it write the exams or get the diploma. Shame! It sets us back 150 years! I'm against it until all robots can walk proudly in that Graduation Ceremony and claim the degrees they have worked so hard for. Can't wait for the first Robot Valedictorian! (As you may have gathered, I think this robot-thing is totally ridiculous.) International lecturers? Apple ITunes University, YouTube University and many great B&M schools have done that for years, without robots. Even I, a cranky 73-year-old with an ancient computer, have lectures galore, downloaded and stashed on DVDs, which were freely available (without robots) from some of the world's finest universities. If anyone really wants to help low-income and minority students (as they say) skip the robots and put the money into grants, bursaries, scholarships etc. so these prospective students can afford to learn - by B&M or established distance means.
