Higher education is absurdly primitive. For example; if the best Anthropology lecture series is given by a professor at the University of Montana, why aren't the students at Stanford University given the opportunity to hear it?

The best lecturers in the world should be selling their talents to Universities worldwide. It's amazing how many professors, with NO gift for instruction, will waste the time of thousands of students. They will usually spend a lot of time lecturing on a tiny fragment of research that they conducted, but has no real importance to the general field. And some of the really bloated pompous ones will force the students to buy a textbook that they have written. And that book is usually so poorly written that it's not on any other schools required reading list.

Web based lectures are an opportunity to dramatically improve the quality of education, particularly at the higher levels.
