Indeed. One of the issues some colleges might come across though, if they adopt these technologies further and further, is trying to distinguish and desperate themselves from those crummy for profit diploma mills. A real and current obstacle though, in implementing these technologies in curriculum today, is that rural internet infrastructure is seriously lacking in a lot of communities. Its often any combination of slow, unreliable, and expensive. It might honestly be easier for students in rural communities to leave home for college than to telecommute, but leaving home for school comes with its own challenges.
