Live lectures have the advantage that you can ask questions. However, nobody wants to ask questions (except mature students) as they don't want to hold up the lecture. Most of my lectures at university were recorded. Whenever I watched them online I'd speed them up 1.3x, so a 1 hour lecture would only take 45 minutes, with no negative effects, I could speed them up even faster, but I had to pay more attention and sometimes rewind. Unfortunately, some lecturers didn't record their lectures, it was their choice, which seems sort of silly and discriminatory to those students who couldn't make it in for whatever reason (illness, anxiety, etc...). I personally see no reason why for a lot of subjects we couldn't have online lectures, where we could sit in the comfort of our bedroom, and ask any questions to the lecturer online.
