I don't know, never taken CMPT165, but I have taken distance education courses; and although it's mostly text, sometimes there is video, one course in PoliSci I took, the prof did lectures in videos and the text of the slides was of what he said. You think for Computer Science there'd be video.
It would be nice if all profs provided the lectures online, after all we are all paying the exact same amount of tuition. I feel that distance ed should include a lecture component.
