In person lectures delivered one way can be pretty non-social and non-interactive as well.

I think @exitb is referring to how it's harder to interact with other students after the lecture is over in a remote course. There's a lot less likely hood to strike up conversation.

That's a fair point.

Looking beyond it for a second, We see students carrying portable communication devices connected to social networks to follow algorithm curated feeds instead of interacting with humans.

Maybe there's a way to use an internet forum or something.
