Instructors can work around this issue by recording brief, focused video lectures or building interactions such as polls and breakout discussions into their live online sessions. However, these solutions tend to require more advance planning and technological ability.

Instructors can use online proctoring tools. Presentations and speeches can be recorded and uploaded to spaces where instructors and classmates can view them and offer comments and critique. Or they can be done live using web conference tools.
I don't think this experience will lead immediately to more students enrolling in online courses, but long-term it may make students who had positive experiences more likely to consider online programs in the future.
