You idiot.

Hmm thats a pretty loaded post.
1. Yes, off campus is not a problem depending on what course you are doing. Feedback issues are usually related to slack staff not the speed of the connection. We regularly used skype or conference type systems. Sure it could get choppy from time to time but it works fine 95% of the time.
2. While its nice we have the tech to talk to people anywhere, anytime, we seemed to have coped for many years previous to this. People pass away, and theres not much you can do other than enjoy their company before they do.
Just like the carbon tax saving the kids, bringing emotion into a debate results in nothing but name throwing.
