In work and learning I keep getting back to an analogy with a trainer and an athlete. People have been training for a long time. The goal is to excel, constantly improve and ideally become the best. The job of the trainer is to monitor if the athlete is working hard enough to improve while not overdoing it. If recovery takes to long the gains will be smaller. One might even get injured. Every type of training has clear goals one of which is the duration of the challenge. A work day is usually 8 hours not a 30 min race to the end. It seems to me a huge challenge to do this remotely. It seems the camera shouldn't be pointed at the teacher but at the student.
