I think the model you're describing is the flipped classroom [1]. If all course materials are put online and lessons consist of requiring pupils to prepare by using the materials and whatever else they can get elsewhere, it might actually increase engagement. Probably doubly so if all of the information learned is used for projects or goals e.g by the end of this year, you will understand how a CRT works and have to provide all the requirements needed to build one with the following characteristics: X nits, Y colors, Z resolution, etc. Similar things could be done with art, music, maths and more. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_classroom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_classroom
