titles of the papers

It's encouraging (or is it perhaps discouraging?) to realise my Univ is not on its own as it tries to address problems in implementing distance learning (DL). Some of the titles of the papers are : DL - Dinosaurian Extinction, Draconian Imposition, Darwinian or Kuhnian evolution; DL - Constructive Learning Opportunities or Playing Corruptive Politics; DL - A short Cut to a Degree; Establishing DL in Developing Countries.
Certainly several of the problems I have encountered here at Unitech seem to be the experiences of others. Why there is such resistance - we've been trying with an unsuccessful model for 13 years but there is a long way to go in breaking down resistance and resentment? If the Univ generates an extra K300 000 in fees by increasing its enrolment to include externals and the course writers have been responsible for that increase to happen, it is understandable that they want to be paid for that. This has been one of the sticking points. Hopefully their staff union and the univ management can come to an arrangement to allow university level courses to happen on the outer islands and the remote mountain valleys and mountains.
