VHS tape, correspondence school, satellite/VTC, nothing new here except the delivery via youtube.

Students watching videos will not supplant higher ed classrooms. For supplementary purposes or augmentation informative videos might be a good resource, but nothing will replace collaboration, student interaction, tutoring, and individual instruction.

There is no research that indicates the Khan video format (youtube) increases retention of content, either.

Millions of lessons but where are the results? Well, at least it is free.
