There is nothing wrong with any of these approaches, provided they don''t get in the way of good pedagogy. Sometimes, the technology does get in the way of learning and teaching. Or is it because you have actually sat down and worked out what problems technology will solve, and how pedagogy will be enhanced by its introduction?

Assimilation of knowledge is supposedly a more viable proposition, because it is done in the presence of an expert, and the general delivery of content occurs outside the formal learning environment. After all, teachers are paid to teach, and students are there to learn, right? How would they need to learn the content?
