The Internet also offers the chance for academics and indeed anyone else 
who recognises poor standards to point that out.

I don't think I would. For one thing, as James has pointed out, such 
programs can insist on learning of extraneous and irrelevant subjects. 
But I have also compared the efficiency of Hebrew learning from grammar 
books at a degree-granting institution with the efficiency of learning 
from courses based on reading and hearing, such as Randall Buth's and 
John Dobson's, and I know which I would recommend.
