Australia has done remote instruction for decades. It boggles my mind that we are not borrowing existing and proven educational technology.

Hum... Brazil is borrowing the tried and tested ideas of education over radio and TV for remote instruction in rural areas.

At the same time, everybody is trying as hard as they can to stop needing them. That's because those techs suck. It is much easier to learn when you have any bit of interactivity, the more interactivity, the easier it is. Broadcast and postage are just not suitable.

School of the air is not broadcast radio, it is ham radio which is interactive.
