The only problem I can see for this kind of online only college is for some courses where you actually need hands-on lab experience. My advisor, Dr. Thad Starner, taught CS 3651 (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2010/cs3651_spring/ http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2010/cs3651_spring/) this past Spring. I was the TA. This class is designed to teach CS students how to build physical devices. The tagline is "just enough electrical and mechanical engineering to make you dangerous". Given the time constraints of the 1 hr class, Thad decided that the best way to really get students building was to do most of his lectures outside of class and every day was a "lab" day. Basically students knew what they were going to have to build, knew the math needed to calculate resistor/capacitor values but didn't know what random parts Thad would show up with. Then the whole class period was Thad and I helping students build. It was a great experience and he's going to make the videos a more official part of the class.
