In my experience learning online is way more effective and efficient.

Why it is not the default option for universities?

    People still want to see people.

    And, of course, you can make more money when you force everyone to come in.

      Universities have a ton of infrastructure (dorms, admin buildings, classroom buildings, etc.) that can’t sit empty and powered down.

      True, but it still surprises me that a lot of universities have enrollment caps. If you want to be present for a live lecture, in-person or telecast, then you should pay a premium. Otherwise you should be able to take online courses in the style of Udemy and sit in for proctored exams.
