I would make the claim that this is happening organically. My friend’s son is a Freshman at college (big state college) and he says that after the first week or so only about 15% of the kids bother showing up for class. The kids can get the lecture notes, or the video or the audio or whatever online. I don’t know how many do this or how carefully they study (probably not very because he also says a lot of kids are failing in some of his classes) but just to point out that class attendance is already very low.
My wife is a teacher for online classes. She holds three M.A.s (working on a 4th) and a Ph.d. She teaches for two schools. One a community college (3 classes) and one an online University (3 classes). The students love the fact that they don’t have to attend even the community college. I can attest to the fact that the actual learning is equal to, and sometimes exceeds that received from a traditional face-to-face setting. The requirements for being an online teacher, at least in her case, were very strenuous and highly competitive. The quality of education the students are receiving in both institutions is on par with any brick and mortar plant.
That first school year should weed out many who don't really want to be there or who have the wrong(?) idea about study.
But your point is made. Things are changing and should change.
