| Are online courses (think: Zoom) more effective when there are facecams? More effective in terms of memorization, morale, understanding... I'm of the opinion the optimum is a diaporama presentation in the video format with a little face? The whole ritual of the class, the content discussed, the anecdotes, the personality of the teacer, the face of the teacher... Well, nothing beats mixing every memorization technique. |

| depends on the class and professor, but mostly yes. having the camera on boosts engagement, especially if the teacher/professor is urging participation. if a student has no choice but to pay attention, then he/she will pick up on more than he/she would if the cameras were off, with no means of being monitored. this is just a personal anecdote from me, but when i have a class without facecams i legit do some other task in the background and never bat an ear to what's actually being discussed. i can get away with not paying attention due to my camera being off. then i have another class with the facecams, with class discussion questions, with active participation; that's a whole different experience. |
| Personally to me it does not matter, with facecams or not I still hate learning online and I haven't noticed any improvement. |

| I’m 22 and not in college so I haven’t experienced an online class like this.. but for me personally I think I would be more focused on how awkward I look on webcam rather than listening to the lesson. I’m sure it’s probably easier to stay engaged for most but I just feel really uncomfortable on camera haha. |

You don't have to activate your own camera, it's mainly about seeing or not the teacher's face. |

| No, as long as you keep your facecam closed, but you're still paying attention to the course, then nothing changes. Only if you close it with the reason to do something else. |

| Not at all, it depends on the work ethic of the students themselves. Having a face am or not either they have the choice to get distracted or focus and get the information needed. |

You have more of an implicit imperative, I believe, when you see a teacher's face. The human attention will make you more aware, conscious of expectations. |
