So this is an interesting hypothesis. "Castelli and Sarvary (2021) have investigated why students do not turn on their video cameras during online classes and suggest ways to encourage them," writes Tom Worthington. "More useful they offer alternative ways for students to show their involvement in an online course. I suggest these support my assertion that 'synchronous' online learning is a myth." More specifically, "Just because students are hearing and seeing the same thing at approximately the same time, they are not necessarily learning that." perhaps. But surely if they are actually interacting with each other and, say, working through some problem, then some synchronous learning is happening. Maybe the problem is with how 'synchronous online learning' is being applied here.
