I do worry that so many people have quickly adopted, for example, Moodle and Big Blue Button, and think that a teacher talking over a shared PowerPoint or similar is “good learning”.
As you say, it’s often too passive, and easy for learners to drift away, to something that is more engaging (e.g. catching up on Twitter or Facebook).
I do think though, that although this might be a solution for many during this “lockdown” period, it will mean that organisations and teachers are more aware of online learning, and how they can achieve this, so in the future they have an experience to ‘build upon’ to move to the next stage, and make their courses engaging and interactive.
