Having both a projector with a powerpoint and a teacher lecturing with the notes in front of us that we accessed online the night before is wonderful. Rather than racing to take down all the notes, we can just sit back....and listen. At least that's my ideal situation. Though, when your in a math class and just don't understand a concept. There's a limit that an online tutorial can help. You need to sit with a teacher and figure it out. If you can't, to a degree (if you are an astute student) then it says something about the teacher's teaching method. Gehlen's notion about a constant feedback comes up here. As humans, we are constantly going through feedback circles towards perfection. With internet learning, improving education as a whole is just a pipe dream.
