Her daughter in law, who lives on a neighbouring property, started
to study a degree in agriculture from home – but had ot give it up
because the courses resources were streamed videos online.

But part of the problem is the fact that they are videos. My experience is that
most videos add very little to the accompanying audio (unless there's something
physical to be demonstrated) but come at a huge data cost. A slide pack + audio
will adequately cover most things (and with better resolution).
Streaming just compounds the problem because you can't download it and watch it
later.
