The situation could be more interesting in the university lecture scenario. Here is a link to the proceeding from the recent Learning Technologies conference in Queensland Australia.

As you can see from an audience point of view considering most lectures are a one way knowledge transfer, there would not be much difference between the live experience and the presentation you can see on the screen. (By the way check out the holographic? ultra minature laptop in this presentation complete with virtual keyboard!) It is easy to imagine a scenario like those in the art community where a single painting is printed and sold using numbered copies. Perhaps this is the way teachers and lecturers can monitise the E-learning phenomenon.
