Tony Bates was also asked to answer the five questions I responded to last week; this is his version. The responses are shorter because he has been working more closely with the organizers over the last few years. He focuses on "Lack of pedagogical training of instructors" where I focused on access. But where I saw opportunity for the system, he shows how "it offers the opportunity to help learners develop the knowledge and skills they need in the 21st century."
