Do you understand how testing works?
Also list the differences. I can tell you my entry level classes had no real benefit over an online class with modern technology.
I don’t think outside of labs that online technology is not a huge benefit to the college level system. This assumes appropriate access to office hours and university resources for tutoring/study groups.
Does your employer allow people to have conference calls? Do you have groups that must work from a distance?

Most online courses through brick and mortars require interaction with other classmates as a requirement for the week (usually in the form of discussion boards or group work). Lockdown browsers or proctored, in-person tests are often used for assessments in those courses. They often have more actual assignments to complete and turn in, to prove your continued engagement. Those assignments are usually turned in to a dropbox with programs like SafeAssign attached to check for plagiarism. And if you're in a graduate program that requires internships/practicum those are still completed as per usual.
I had far more "accountability" in online courses than sitting in a 300 person lecture hall with maybe 2-3 tests a semester as my "work".

But the tests do have time limits that require you to be able to quickly access the answers from your memory bank, that doesn't give you time to search.
Your shite take is just that. Just move on.

Again you must not know anything about how it works.
There is also options for testing centers which would be the same system used on campuses already.

The funny thing is, brick and mortars will give you a regular degree that doesn't differentiate whether your courses were online or not. He's full of shite on a lot of what he's spewing.

Imagine the savings and flexibility if all that was required in terms of a facility was the testing center. Imagine if it allowed the students more flexibility for their schedules.
The losers in all of this are small universities, administrators, and academics. Everyone else wins.

I would not and will not view someone who did their 4 years online only the same as someone who went to a traditional university

It doesn't anger me. It just shows your ignorance in the matter.

What if it allowed people to get more real work experience while studying? That is the real experience I perceive you to want.
I still see the majority of college graduates having poor communication skills, interpersonal skills for a work environment, perspective, maturity, and work ethic outside of students that had real work experience/internships.
I do not view college substituting for the real work experience ever. It is a place to learn basic concepts of a field of study until you maybe enter graduate research as that is basically a work experience. I see that with some upper level lab classes also.

Lower tuition? Syracuse announced this week that tuition is going UP about 4% next year to $54k for students admitted after 2018. Now, they did announce a 7% increase in financial aid, but still it's pretty bold of them.

Central New York Business Journal
And don't forget the $54k is only for tuition. A student still has to eat and a place to stay.

I think there's some merit to it. None of these schools in CA that are closed through the fall semester will lower their prices despite not opening their facilities and the students are going to be pissed when they realize their tuition will remain the same or possibly even go up.
USC just raised their tuition 3.5& next year.
