A nice paper describing how it is possible to teach skills based courses - like cooking - with web based learning. This paper should firmly refute those who claim things like, "You can't teach cooking long distance; you have to be face-to-face with the learner." Yes, there was still a face to face component, but: "For the first time in six years, I had a group of first-year students who actually knew the vernacular of the industry. I had more time to train and correct student behaviors because I was not bogged down delivering lectures."
