My experience as a prof is that you have to create the compelling case for students to learn and focus their attention on you. Many times, students are being pulled in multiple directions by things like needing to earn a living, raise a family, or attending to myriad other issues.

Well, the answer I have found is engaging them in the classroom (physical setting) and forcing them to engage, putting something of themselves on the line. That usually involves getting them to present themselves at least once a week.

I tend to agree with your view that taking the stock parts of the course and choosing best of breed prepared materials (last year’s lecture to use your example) is important so you can focus on the real value-added parts.

I’d have been a professional student if having to pay bills didn’t get in the way.

Today I use my MP3 player for 90% lecture/interview style podcasts. My kids are hear all kinds of subjects while traveling in the car with me. I’m sure they’d rather just have music.

House painting, raking, walking to work, shoveling are all activities that used to be mostly waisted time in my book. Now I am able to put the time to extra good use.

Or, as Bourdieu would put it, elite institutions give students access to a certain kind of cultural capital which stays with them for life. You’re right though about the anachronism of the ‘lecture’ as a format for teaching – unless it can be archived, backed up, and networked as it goes (for instance with students being able to go online and follow up key points during the lecture ‘performance’) – I seriously wonder about its usefulness as a pedagogic form.
