Interesting article. I’ve taught three masters level classes this week and even these motivated students can find it challenging. Most are OK with passive listening, even if that’s not my favorite thing, and having some discussion, but as with in person, there can be issues trying to flip the classroom to make things more engaging and for pedagogical reasons. For example, I noticed that over 10% dropped off the zoom session on Monday, rather than discussing a case with other students in a breakout session for 15 minutes. I much prefer teaching in person where I can see their faces and get some feedback about where they are in terms of learning, interest, tiredness... and where I can more easily push them into doing group discussions that are pedagogically useful and enhance their networking skills.
