Here’s me quoted in Inside Higher Education. Of course, the reporter didn’t use any of the e-mail interview in which I sounded a lot less like a crank than in the post.

I like the way Soltan, who’s a massive promoter of MOOCs on her blog and at IHE, takes a pseudo-skeptical line in the article.
Yeah, I don’t get that either, Jonathan Dresner.
Jonathan Rees: well done.
Yes, so pleased to see your particularly authentic scepticism out there.
