Agreed, if teaching really was not bi-directional than there is zero reason for there to actually be a teacher in the first place when it could just be a book.

There are some bad teachers where it is not bidirectional for sure. But to claim it isn't (or at least is not supposed to be)... is wild

Teaching will get to evolve when the subject matter is changing faster than the delivery mechanisms.

Where the subject matter doesn't change as quickly.. might be in for some trouble.

This article is kind of strange. I would title it "Digitally and AI illiterate institution attempts to deliver course that looked impressive and amazing to them." Students do have standards and students baseline digital literacy passed by institutions a long, long time ago.

I know, let's talk about MooCs.
