It is indeed very interesting the article you wrote differentiating real courses from whatever else. It is sad that anything from a blog post to a youtube video is considered an actual course. I too learned a few things by watching videos or reading a tutorial, but it is far from a real class...and it is insulting to associate those attempts with the word "university". A class is a 2 way street -unlike videos and documents that are unilateral-, where students and teachers can interact..otherwise a lot can be left pending on the student's side..and without a teacher no one can certify that the students were indeed able to grasp the new concepts taught and that they are ready to put them into practice.
