Integrity and copyright issues might also highlight the flaws of online learning, considering the increased challenge of monitoring who has access to the programs.
Earlier this year, Harvard opted out of a distance learning alliance with Yale, Stanford and Princeton. The proposed alliance would have allowed alumni to access online resources at each university.
Under this alliance, member schools would have jointly supported technical development, but actual material content would be the responsibility of each school.
With Stanford and HBS's new e-learning partnership, the two schools will offer lectures and case discussions with top-notch business personnel
online, perhaps revisiting the distance learning proposal that Harvard chose not to accept a year ago.
Stanford's School of Engineering will also play a role in the initiative. The school currently grants 25 percent of its masters degrees to students of distance learning.
