How about banning classrooms in favor of laptops?
Hyperbole sure, but I was an on class student who paid for distance learning because I preferred the freedom to take the class on my time, on 2x speed, and with the ability to pause and look things up. It was never worth it to go back to class.
It begs the question: maybe it's the teaching method, and not the tool.
