When I'm a professor, you best believe I will give students the option to vlog or some other type of assignment. Don't get me wrong writing is vital, but I think there are other areas that undergrad students should work on as well.
PureEssence I once took a class (back in 2014, yes I'm old) and you had to submit a visual, audio, and written assignment. Although she didn't like the scrapbook I made LMFAOO. I just think there should be more to college than writing papers.
Although in a grad school class last term, we had other options but it was always MORE work than just writing a short paper so I never bothered.
although podcasts have always been a fun option
