The Growing Online Student Market
By Penny Archer

In a recent attach on the UK educational system, Lord Puttnam, Chancellor of the Open University and film producer-turned politician, raised his concerns about the ever growing digital divide and creativity of deliverance. His concerns were summed up by the 12 year old son of a friend who commented “at school, you do all this boring stuff, really basic stuff such as PowerPoint and spreadsheets and things.
