But those degrees will be deliverable (and delivered) online.

That’s the difference.

I'd be surprised if a 100% “online” degree ever really replaces a college experience. There is a value to actually being in a classroom or a lab and to interacting face to face. I am sure that this technology will allow more students (and others) to see lectures by really smart, top-tier professors and that will be worked into college course work. But I don't think it will replace actually going to college (at least not for more prestigious degrees).

Any degree obtained online will be deemed as worthless as a degree from the University of Phoenix
