I disagree. The start/end date concept facilitates working together with others in a study group setting. Everyone is at the same part of the class, and you can benefit from learning together. Finding a real-world study group for material with no start/end date is significantly more difficult. One of the best ways to learn is to work through material with others in a group.

If the lectures were coupled with wiki-style video annotation, over time people could curate Q&A. This would be fantastic study material and it would be embedded at the most relevant moments of the lecture. It would get better with each new question and would be available to everyone forever. So - people still learn together, just not necessarily concurrently.
