DESCRIPTION:In a world where higher education institutions are seeking opp
 ortunities to offer courses to a global market of ‘online learners\,’ 
 a commitment to the physical habitat of education might seem obsolete or a
 nachronistic. Yet many educators speak for the uncanny quality of physical
  presence\; that being physically face to face with students has a singula
 r\, irreducible pedagogical power. This raises a question: is the interest
  in online education really pedagogical? Although I argue that the move to
  e-learning is founded primarily on economic rather than pedagogical conce
 rns\, I want to get beyond the dichotomy that sees e-learning either as a 
 panacea for educational limitations\, or the erosion of the substantive ed
 ucational encounter. I will argue for an ambivalent philosophy of technolo
 gy that can make us more attentive to the appropriate place of technology 
 in education. \n\n
