So my college did a survey of students this semester to ask how much they liked the covid19 shift to online classes.
The results were
48% said they preferred in-person classes
10% said they preferred online classes
41% said they preferred a combination of in-person and online components.
Generally this meant the instructor gave live instruction and the students did online assignments.
A blow to those who think youtube is going to replace teachers.

No it isn't. Those are the same type of people who declare that all US cars will be EVs by 2025 and self-driving in 2027.

The overwhelming response we got is that they miss the interaction & liked it better the more interaction the instructors did.
We also had 65% indicate "disagree" either slightly or strongly that they are learning as much online that they used to in-person. The most damning finding of them all in my opinion.

Oh, no doubt. I think I may have predicted similar when this carnival started. I was loudly hooted down and told I was just trying to protect my pension (which I've been collecting now for five years) by several of the educational "experts" on this forum.
There was even a thread about how this signaled the death knell for schools because everyone will prefer online.

There's a certain kind of anti-social auto-didact that likes online classes but I think existing online classes were already capturing those.
I also think that the really slick online materials that those people like is more of a "product" than a class. There should be (and are) companies that produce that material for the customers that want it, not teachers doing all this remote nonsense.

Ridiculous though those people may be, his findings were a blow to those same exact people. Your response was a non sequitur. Glad you secured your pension many years prior.

You missed both Redguard's and my points. Keep working and contributing to my pension.
I do think that online education will eventually take off. We just haven't figured out how to do it well yet... and it may be several years until we do. Until then, in-person is the only sufficient way.

My college student kid hated it and so did every single one of his friends.
Some "things" you need to be physically present for so all of his labs were cancelled & his research was obviously cancelled. Wondering who has been taking care of the rats.
My just-graduated-from-HS kid is currently taking 2 online summer classes with the college he will be attending (and hopefully not from home) in the fall.
What a HUGE joke - and zero discount for this distance learning.
