Distance Learning - Archive Hour programme on Radio 4

You can listen again to my BBC Radio 4 Archive Hour programme 'I'd Like to Teach the World To...' (first broadcast 13th May 2006). It was repeated yesterday, so should be available for six days here (scroll down till you get to 'Archive Hour'). It was inspired by discovering that my grandfather Reg Warburton had written a correspondence course on popular singing in 1957, but ranges across the genre of distance learning taking in everything from Jane Fonda's workout tapes to The Open University. There is an interview with Hubert Dreyfus on online learning cut in from about 32.30 mins into the programme (and then throughout). For thoughts about Dreyfus's views on distance learning see this earlier post about Dreyfus.
