Ostensibly. Some may want the paper and an actual learning experience that isn't virtualised. I must be asking for too much.

I also might not understand the purpose of the video lectures. If they supplant face to face time but get rid of the tedium, then I would say it should also accompany course/lecture notes, reading texts, and/or supplemental documents.

I just think forcing people to watch youtube videos is a much lower quality experience for a student. If it's a required course I'd want a refund for being forced into a lazy teaching format.
