Another thing not mentioned, so many faculty and administrators are often technophobes, luddites, and in some cases dinosaurs. There is a very strong "union" mentality about anything that even begins to encroach on the classroom experience, so professors and teachers will fight that tooth and nail.

Otherwise, I pretty much agree with everything in this article based on what I've learned about the education business recently. It's a long, long, long game and my guess is that most investors (right now) will not have the stamina to play it. It will happen, but my guess is that tipping point will not be reached as fast as it does in other verticals.
