Ideally it works, but too often itâs a disaster
As someone who was active in off-campus teaching for some 30 of a 50-year career in higher education, and with awards and media coverage for my innovations, I am nevertheless concerned at proposals such as the use of pre-recorded lectures combined with a weekly or fortnightly seminar. This strategy can work where lecture equivalents are updated, seminar sizes are limited to 30 or so well-prepared students, and they take place in purpose-designed classrooms with movable seating to allow for break-out groups.
