Learn Turf Management Online?

Enough with online education!  I was recently descending the stairs of the parking deck at NC State and noticed a flyer for a Turf Management class online and it emphasized the fact that you would NEVER have to go to class.  Anyone else find it funny that a class that teaches you how to take care of turf would not require you to ever step outside?

Online education is about filling a student's knowledge bucket.  I'm convinced education must light a fire so that the student will self educate.  I do think online education has a place, mainly in a flipped classroom model.
