When we learn, we integrate knowledge on these levels, body memory, emotional memory etc. This is how we are human. Just as intelligence once was measured by the "IQ" only, online learning caters to the cerebral. Many intelligences have been discovered as Howard Gardner's theory proposes. The PBS version: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/education/ed_mi_overview.html. The four balanced levels of a human are covered in these intelligences. If they are addressed, the body mind spirit and heart can then integrate the learning experience fully, integrating the knowledge. For instance, when music is introduced through video (YouTube learning videos) there is another level the knowledge can be absorbed at.
