I think maybe you misunderstood what I was saying / I wasn't being clear.

I agree with you actually... what I'm suggesting is that the current situation with online teaching isn't really generalizable to long-term experiences of it, or the situation where something is planned with online teaching in mind.

I know things will vary by institution for sure, but for a lot of schools going forward they're going to try to avoid the problems you're mentioning.

My guess is even when students return, there will be things like substituting large lectures with online material, etc. Colleagues of mine at other institutions are being told that going forward training and skills in online instruction is being expected of everyone. This sounds obvious but what it means in practice is that the university probably won't find what happened this past semester acceptable.

There's a lot of issues for sure, but I don't think that the long-term experiences of online instructions can be generalized from this past semester.
