Question 6

Can my child attend class without their video/audio enabled?

Accepted Answer

While we encourage learners to enable audio/video throughout class for a more interactive and social class experience, it is not required. To promote classroom safety, we verify that each learner joining class is indeed a child. Make sure your learner connects with each new teacher at least once with video enabled to allow the teacher (volunteer) to confirm your learner’s identity. This can be a quick check-in at the beginning of the first class meeting, then video can be off for the remainder of class.
