Their is some evidence this simply does not work as well. MOOC's demonstrate you can perhaps get ~80% of the benefit of an introductory lecture online, but they don't carry as well into more interactive styles.
Really face time with a professor is not directly the huge cost you might think. Class participation and helping students during office hours don't scale very well. On top of that it's much simpler to cheat in an online only environment.
Honestly, I think High school is probably a better place for this kind of automation. Setting up a rotation where you have say both a small and double sized classroom seems very possible.
