If one used to give project after each session so student gets a opportunity of learning from projectes which he/she could complete with the help of session they attended .
And as i am student of 3D animation i know how project helps to improve and we also learn new thinks from them.

The greatest problem in this era of informationalism is lack of structure and context for all the conflicting bits of information thrown at us and when you try to access real research that lets you build that structure and context, you need a paid subscription or various authorizations to access a given library -- not to mention copyright issues that limit international access to online videos from a given country or simply force you to buy more reference materials than you can afford.

That being said, I do believe the concept of e-learning is really simple. Lecturers and professors film their lectures and post them online on a student portal for the students to download. This could be supplemented with a live camera feed for Q&A with the lecturers. Tests and quizzes pose a slight problem because of dishonesty when taking a test at home in front of your computer. Assignments are posted online for students to download and then an upload facility can be used for submission. Most universities already employ this exact system as a free service to students in the form of a student portal.
Another potential problem is the funding. If the university is a global offering, then where will funding come from? State and community colleges are government subsidised, but if the online university were to be global which government would subsidise it? How would the equipment, facilities and servers to host everything be paid for? Who would pay the lecturers?

Yes, they do, but for other reasons.
People should accept that we have to learn for life and not only for a piece of paper (degree).
Going to school and university makes people to experts in selecting the facts they need to pass
their exams and finally get a degree, but many lack the understanding to structure new information
or put it into context, because lessons and lectures are more and more often focussed on preparing
for a particular exam (good statistics to sell the course!!!) than on creating a real understanding ...
Education has become a business and teaching how to learn & think would create students/citizens
that are self sufficient learners and not potential customers for another course. Politicians in general
are also not interested in an aware / curious population that might start asking questions...
Another problem is the raidly growing amount of knowledge in nearly all areas
but for budget reasons the lectures have to do more and more administrative tasks etc. ...
