text: Some might say that a teacher can just supervise students taking distance learning by using a virtual classroom or by means of a live video feed similar to Facetime or Skype. This looks over the fact that theres only so much a teacher can do from behind a computer screen to ensure their students are learning, if there is even a teacher supervising at all. The class might just be a teacher that puts up notes and lessons to a website for students to look at. If the class is taught in a traditional classroom along with students taking distance learning via a virtual classroom, the teacher cannot always be watching over the distance learning students while they are keeping track of students in their classroom. If the class is only made up of students taking distance learning, taught in a virtual classroom, the teacher may never be sure that the students are focusing on lessons when the student is at home.
