Be careful professor!

With students now able to instantaneously check on the internet what teachers teach in their classes, the dynamics of the classroom are changing. The immediate availability of vast amounts of information, and the ability to make perfect infinite copies, to communicate, and to distribute instantaneously will, by necessity, alter the ways we learn and teach. Transparency holds out the promise of a deeper, richer and more democratic educational experience, but also an implied challenge to the traditional academic order.
