E-commerce companies can stock anything no matter how small the demand. Schools can offer any class regardless of enrollment. Memorizing is less important than being savvy at accessing. It is easier to promote a student’s passion and be more student-centered. Internet access is expanding to almost anywhere. Learning is not limited to schools.
