David White has a few thoughts worth noting in this course. He writes, "If you'd asked me what moving to 100% online over about three weeks would look like then I'd have predicted some kind of socio-tech disaster.

As such, we tend not to ask too many questions of face-to-face teaching around themes like engagement and participation." One such: contact hours.
