I just don't think that what you're saying jibes with what actually motivates people to learn and complete a degree program. It's not just about watching great lectures. It's about forming bonds and social support structures that enable you to stay focused and on track in what inevitably is a hard road.

People are capable of producing tight groups in any form, but not all those forms are amenable to all people. The question is if the face time that physical presence affords is required.

Think of the communities that form around YouTube channels. It's more than just the videos, it's the comments and response videos, subscribers, and followers that make it interesting.
