However, the system’s internet censors blocked the document. The teacher was able to upload it only after the group of words was removed.

Teachers are finding ways to avoid some barriers to sharing information over the internet. For example, they can sometimes share online files with individual students, even as the same documents get rejected when sharing with an online group of students. So, some teachers send files to parents and students one-by-one.

Cheng Yufan is a university student in the southern province of Jiangsu. She accidentally became the leader of a lecture on the first day of online classes last month.

When class was set to start, her professor did not appear. And the media site’s system appointed Cheng as the group administrator.

When her professor finally signed on, connection issues blocked his communication with the class. Cheng and the other students spent two hours listening to…nothing.

But, the professor did not even know. He wrote in the class group discussion, “See you next time!”
