I'm starting to think most classes could be split in two when doing online education.
There's a percentage of students that are highly motivated and that don't really need a lot of supervision. A teacher could split them into a group and assign them (a lot) of reading and follow up at a regular cadence. They should be encouraged to have a daily conference call, not necessarily with the teacher, to work together on problems or discuss books.
Else these students are stuck in a lecture where, let's face it, half the time is spent doing "classroom management" for problematic students.
