Instance of reckless enthusiasm

For those interested in the "reckless enthusiasm" matter, take a 
look at this story in "Inside Higher Ed""

http://j.mp/8QNmqO

This is about the AFL CIO decision to partner with Princeton 
Review for online courses.  I would think that this is what 
Clayton Christensen ("Innovator'sDilemma") would call a 
disruptive technology.

If I had to bet on what would have a bigger impact on higher 
education in ten years--white papers issued by distinguished 
committees or this somewhat distasteful program from the AFL 
CIO--I would put my money on the latter.  Of course, the good 
news is that we don't have to choose.
