Touch v Tech, mutually excusive? I think not

Consider this vision of our college campuses as espoused by Charles Reed, chancellor of the California State University System:

Reed said he envisions students becoming more like telecommuters. They might meet with faculty and peers one day a week on campus, and then use simulations, virtual worlds and downloaded information the rest of the week to complete coursework. [Link]

To my way of thinking, this takes the idea of hybrid class construction to a whole new level where learning content is delivered via the technology and the personal touch is maintained with meetings, mentoring, group work, etc.

How refreshing to not see an argument for one or the other approach, but the peaceful coexistence of the two. I wonder what faculty think about the idea?
