Nobody seems really willing to tackle improving remote learning.
It would be as if companies worked remotely by putting everyone on Zoom calls all day. Education in general refuses to move beyond the damn lecture.
- missedthecue 5y agoI don't think the problems that plague remote learning are technical in nature. They are fundamental. It's just hard to learn in a non-collaborative environment.
- noelherrick 5y agoI replied to you above, but I disagree. Many subjects could be vastly improved by excellent software. And I would say that in-person high school and university are fundamentally plagued by people who just want to lecture for an hour. That's just a fundamentally poor way to teach.
- mkl 5y agoYou're dead wrong there. Many universities are, and I and my colleagues have been working our butts off moving beyond lectures. Beside recent changes, some universities have been offering fully remote lectureless degrees for decades. The thing is, it's an enormous amount of work to do well, so no university can just switch everything instantly.
