In my experience learning online is way more effective and efficient.

Why it is not the default option for universities?

As someone who was was an adjunct before and during the pandemic, I can tell you from first hand experience that a lot was lost when transitioning from in-person to remote learning.

The most obvious impact was participation. Even at the college level, when students aren't physically in the classroom they are less focused on the class.

However, even beyond that there are a lot of things that suffer:

  • The ability to just walk over to a student to see how theyre doing (whether they want you to or not).
  • In class exercises and group collaboration.
  • The ability to easily dive into questions and tangents (drawing programs online are very hit or miss).
  • Not to mention audio and video issues.
  • Ability to read the classroom (going to fast, something wasn't clear, etc.)

It may not sound significant, but it really adds up. Not to mention that the impact from covid in education is very visible at all levels of education.
