I believe some number of years ago Berkeley pulled freely available online lectures for this reason. I am of course not trying to bad mouth the ADA, just saying that making the lectures freely available is not as simple as removing a password from some page. | |

The lectures are there, supervision time exists for questions. That may change the pressures on teacher numbers, or the split between teaching and other work time. | |

From faculty's viewpoint, I've created my replacement. Even if I'm kept around for research and teaching new/non-recorded classes, there is a big loss of leverage. | |
| May 28, 2021 at 18:37 | comment | added | Dirk | By my count it's the third online semester. On a different note, I have all my (live) lectures freely available online even though they contain errors and glitches. Everybody knows under what circumstances they have been produced... | |
| May 28, 2021 at 17:11 | comment | added | Pulcinella | Of course, but I feel like the conclusion is the same, except that professors should naturally be allowed to opt out. In Europe there have been 4 or 5 semesters of lockdown by now, so I imagine that a fair number would be happy with the quality of their more recent courses. | |
| May 28, 2021 at 14:30 | comment | added | Nathaniel Johnston | I think that a lot of professors are hesitant to release COVID-19 lecture videos simply because they were put together in an unexpected pandemic crunch, so they aren't up to the standards that the professor feels comfortable having the general public viewing and judging them. Many of us had never recorded, let alone edited, a video a year ago. | |
