| Sumario: | The recent case of a Harvard Law School professor, Arthur Miller, who sold a series of 11 lectures to a virtual university, was seen as a violation of university policy. Harvard has since rewritten its guidelines to prevent others from following Miller online. Although online learning is pitting professors against universities, it also raises many issues beyond intellectual freedom. There are concerns about Web courses counting as teaching credits; whether they will affect tenure; the question of intellectual property rights to online courses; and whether the trend toward online education is in professors' best interests.
