I refer you to my comment that squeezing even a full duplex audio-visual view onto a small screen is not as good as live presence. In fact, it is poor design to attempt to recreate the live lecture feeling on a tiny screen and tinny speaker. The presentation is best adapted to employ the strengths of the medium and mitigate its shortcomings.
I further note that, as I mentioned, while the capability has been available for years, its implementation into actual distance-learning situations has been mostly of poor quality, as witnessed by my own and my children's actual experience rather than some third-party analysis.
We probably agree that the best possible distance learning implementation can be competitive with actual presence. I eagerly await the day that the best possible distance learning implementation becomes commonplace.

Well, who would argue that listening to Maria Callas at Metropolitan Opera is a way better than watching her performance on TV or PC. But not all of us are so lucky to reside in that particular ZIP code (plus, having enough extra cash in the pocket). As a matter of fact, many of us would be just glad to have at least that minimal opportunity, i.e. quality PC video streaming. The same could be said about real/virtual classrooms. Btw, the quality of video-streaming currently is pretty high (refer to my kinda auld but rather popular articles on this topic posted on CP YouTube™ Embedded Video Player: Extended API (C#)[^] )

Childcare. Classrooms are a really good way to look after a large number of children with a small number of staff. Otherwise someone has to stay home all day every day to look after the child whilst they do their online learning. They might even clog up your internet connection thereby stopping you spending all day posting comments in forums such as this one

"Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Additionally, a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
So, let me get this right...a service temporarily unavailable error causes a service temorarily unavailable error...this could take a while... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No, being unable to use ErrorDocument causes that!

Perhaps it's from the guy who wrote the error message? Easily offended, error message writers. It can't be easy knowing that everything you do is wrong!

I think this guy is also raging in QA. It looks he is easily upset if answers don't use the tone he likes.
He downvoted 5 of my answers in a matter of 10 minutes. Ok I tend to be not nice to people that simply ask for a solution for their homework
I have even been downvoted for recommending to use a debugger to someone that didn't understand what a piece of code was doing, and another one that did not understood why its code was failing.

At least the code won't annoy the user with, "Program stopped working" pop ups. 
I'll go with the devil.
