I require cameras on and almost all are complying. I have one or two with "camera problems" that have to connect via phone when I ask questions.Do your students turn on their cameras? Mine do not. I “teach” to a gray screen with profile pics of Cardi B, Nicki Manage, and Jessica Rabbit. Oh, and a cute pic of a student’s infant. I agree, this online learning sucks.
Some of my peers and our department head have said that its too much to ask for because economically disadvantaged, Yadda Yadda Yadda but my observation is that they all have computers and smartphones so I have no qualms about asking for cameras on. My wife has the same policy. Since we each upgraded our webcams last month, we have a couple of older cams that we're willing to loan out of needed and have offered them up but no takers thus far.
