A Student's Thoughts on Distance Learning

Internet has the possibility of cutting out lecture-based classes altogether. This student at UK describes an increasingly popular scenario and does so in a way that make some sense. He questions the large-lecture, location based courses that so many institutions still deliver. He's missing one critical piece, though - that delivery of content via technology is great but there still must be interaction and assessment. He's gone in the right direction and all we need to do is follow up by enhancing the learning experience.
