Charlie Lowe asks the question that has to be asked. "At the same time, for those professors who just deliver lecturers in their F2F classes without any real interactive component, I wonder? Why couldn't an institution syndicate lectures from another institution, and hire some TAs to run small discussion/Q&A sessions and do the grading? There are still a lot of talking heads out there giving lectures in higher education. Beware, such teachers, you might be making yourself irrelevant if that's the only value you bring to a course, other than being a grader. Some lecturers must necessarily be better than others."
