I wonder how much tuition would be reduced if school entered the 21st century?

It doesn't seem you even read the article you posted. The point wasn't to learn @ home to the exclusion of all else, it was to have more active learning sessions instead of traditional lectures. The examples they gave didn't involve anything that would cut tuition.
I guess the article wasn't really a good lead in to this discussion, but the thread title is appropriate.
I think you'll be hard-pressed to find any administration supporting the general idea that students stay home 5 days a week and learn from PPT/review books, definitely not what they were suggesting. Although, I agree with everyone that it's superior to the status quo.
