So, yes. You can do this.
Will it be as good as a real, in-person class?
Honestly, I’m not sure. My first answer is no, but maybe I just haven’t found the key yet. It seems clear that you can have small group meetings online. I do that now with my colleagues. I still prefer meeting face to face, but everyone is all over the place, so that’s not feasible.
But look. If you’re just “presenting” information and ideas to students, then why not just put it in a video? You wouldn’t have to repeat your lectures every semester; you could just record them once and be done with it. Oh, even better, we’d only need one teacher for all students, someone who can make the one video to rule them all and in the darkness of knowledge bind them.
So maybe this is a good time to rethink how we do face-to-face classes too? I mean, it’s not like this is new information. We’ve known for quite a while
