I think video lectures are a bit problematic.

I am just reflecting on this summer course delivered by TV. It is a bit disconcerting synthisizing video, power point printouts, and books. I mean the books and the power point slides one can flip around in but the videos are hard to access and lenghty to review. I really don't understand why my dad thought video lectures were cheating. I told him this course was designed to be done by video. I just took three hours off to chat with some virtual friends at Yahoo. Now I am hitting the books again.
