Yes, my daughter is doing remote this year, but the majority of students are in class. So she has to watch a live video of the lecture. The district doesn't want to record the videos since they think students won't pay attention. They also periodically take attendance.
- ajford 6y agoIf they ultimately watch the videos later, what difference does it make whether they watch it live. In my opinion, having a lecture recorded is a wonderful boon, as you can go back and rewatch a section if it wasn't clear the first time.
- ghaff 6y agoThat's a nice theory and makes a lot of sense. But I don't know about you but I find I very rarely get around to watching things like conference video for sessions I missed live. You end up with a big backlog and it's easier just to ignore the whole thing.
- ajford 6y agoThe parent comment was talking about educational lectures, like in classroom settings. When I was in college, online ed was just taking off at my campus, and I took one CS class with online lectures. It was quite useful to be able to go back to a lecture in that situation. I agree that for traditional meetings/conferences they're not super useful (though I often find myself enjoying presentations from tech conferences long after the conference was held). But that was a different scenario than I was defending.
- greedo 6y agoThe administrators feel the students won't pay enough attention if they can simply watch the video later.
