Materials are available before the session rather than sent afterwards, which is the only arrangement under which anybody reads them.

Eleven minutes connected is recorded as connected, and flagged for you to decide. The system will not pretend to know whether that counts as attending.

Four hundred megabytes an hour matters if you are on mobile data. Audio only is about a tenth of that and there is a switch for it in the class.

CaptionsAutomatic, roughly accurate
Captions are automatic and get names and equations wrong. They are better than nothing and worse than a transcript, and that is said here rather than assumed.

The chat is part of the recording. Anything typed here is kept with the class and is visible to anybody who watches it later.

Noor H.Is this in the assessment?8 votes

AnonymousI am completely lost3 votes
Questions can be asked anonymously and voted on. The fourth one is the one that never gets asked out loud, and it is why anonymous is allowed.
Did last week make sense?
Yes62%
No24%
Not sure14%
Thirty-eight per cent said no or not sure. That is the number the next class is built around, and it is only visible because the poll was anonymous.

The third chapter is where the most people rewind. It is marked because that is more useful to a student than a chapter list, and it tells the teacher something too.
Automatic captions corrected by a person before the recording is published. Names and formulas are the two things machines get wrong most.

DownloadablePlain textYes
TimestampedEvery paragraphYes
CorrectedBy a person, before publishingYes
A searchable transcript is the single most used thing on a recorded course, and it costs about twenty minutes per class to correct.

Watching the recording counts, and is recorded as such rather than as attendance. The distinction matters to nobody except the person deciding whether the timing of the class is wrong.

They are toldWhen you join a roomAlways
Students are told when a teacher joins their room. Silent observation of a small group changes what the group says, which defeats the point of splitting it.

Forty-seven per cent live at a ten o’clock Monday is not an engagement problem. The recording brings it to seventy-seven, and the twenty who never watched are the list that matters.
