That's a big infographic for having so little actual information. Even as a CS major, I have a few gripes with the way digital education is going:
1. Digital textbooks suck. The traditional book publishers want to make lots of money. They make even more money here renting these horrific pieces of crap they call e-books, which greatly exaggerate the benefit they truly provide to the student. Publishers would do a whole lot better if they adapted the Udacity model of short focused video segments.
2. Online lectures are not as effective as in-person. In online courses, deep learning doesn't happen. Online classes are setup so you can pop in once a week, answer a few questions by skimming the textbook rather than hearing a liver lecturer speak, and move on with life. Thus avoiding deep synthesis of topics. The social and personal interactions which are lost are significant as well. It's a flexible model plagued with tragedy.
