This is basically the idea with blended learning models. The problem though--or one of them--is that the MOOC component mostly tackles the easy (and relatively cheap), one-to-many broadcast part of the blend.

My understanding is that a lot of schools already videotape their big lectures and many students just watch them online while doing study groups, going to recitations, working on problem sets, etc. more or less like they always have.
