Wow! Thx Amanda -
The ivory tower is a term used throughout history from which access was prevented to the world of the 'educated', often a term conflagrated for good reason with the term the elite and for which an entire millennia of class have reinforced. - That term implied an intentional prevention on the part of the privileged taking advantage of those who are otherwise allowed in for reasons other than those which are both intellectually honest as well as short sighted because our civilization is only as strong as our ability or willfulness to keep extending intellectual fruits to all.
Hopefully, the ivory tower, is not in effect at AXIA- in fact it would be better to believe those said instructors were simply not aware or not actively being asked to provide more accountability in the online environment for which in its infancy, is likely to perhaps for some time continue to promise the sensation of working in the dark until greater technology can be implemented!
