You can already get a world class education watching YouTube videos from MIT, Stanford, Yale and a host other colleges.

Yes, The Teaching Company pioneered audiotapes and CDs and now videos in their Great Courses series.
I used to take those audios out from my local library and listen during my commute. What a wonderful use of time.
One of my favorites was Professor Arnold Weinstein of Brown University and his Classics of American Literature

All that’s really required is to wrap some discussion and exercises around these audios by the finest professors.
Bill O’Reilly’s series of audios and David McCullough’s books on audiotape. This is the stuff of great education in the humanities.
In truth, computer programming can be mastered on-line. And many sites such as w3schools.com are already performing this function.
Love this initiative of Dinesh D’Sousa. He’s on the right track...
Mit is trying to figure out how to connect the watcher to the tester, then one will be able to get a degree from there online. Matter of time.
A lot comes down to how an instructors teaching stye and approach fit a students learning stye and background and how the course subject matter is tailored to mesh with the individual students curriculum
The ability to select an online Prof out of a slate of instructors on an online menu to meet an individual students learning needs is a very positive feature, as is the ability to learn the subject matter by watching two or more profs teach the same subject matter from different perspectives and teaching styles can be a powerful learning tool.
As is the ability to refer a student to another instructors better or more in depth treatment of a particularly difficult or critical aspect of the subject matter.
Dinesh gas much to offer for serious consideration.
