Assume either

Also assume that you're watching a video of the lecture at home in your boxers.
Does this sound like a recipe for success?

A good lecture is like a choreographed battle between the presenter and the audience. If it's boring then you are either unprepared, the lecturer is unprepared, or you expect it to be like a bedtime story.
If I were learning on the internet, I wouldn't watch a video lecture. I hate videos. I'd read the book and the notes and then talk on forums, chat, video Q&A sessions with TAs and the prof.
That aside, I've had great success learning soft topics like history from audio lectures. I'll put them on while driving or am otherwise unable to be engaged.
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
