Kids Sleeping in Online Classes - Solution?

Hi guys,

I'll try to keep this short.

We are an EdTech startup that provides Engineering education like Programming and Robotics to kids and youths. I'm not disclosing the name here because I don't mean to promote ourselves subtly here.

The problem I'm trying to solve with my team -

In online classes, there's almost zero engagement from kids and youths and as a result they don't learn the topic effectively. The possible reason is, students find it very hard to concentrate because most of the times it's just the teacher talking and showing some slides to them. As they don't get to participate actively in anything apart from writing stuff down, it's boring for them.

The solution we've come up with -

Utilizing a game-based teaching approach in online class. As in, we would be creating a role-playing game around the learning topic where the learning goals (topics they're supposed to learn) would be embedded in the narrative in the form of various activities.

Each student will be taking a role and playing the role-playing game in the online class. As playing games is something all kids and youths enjoy, this will help them be more engaged and active in class. Moreover, since the learning goals are also embedded carefully in the narrative - it would feel more like they're playing a game than just studying while achieving the same outcome.

So, I have the following questions for you -

1. Do you think the problem we have addressed is something you've noticed in your children? If so, would you be kind enough to elaborate so we can understand your situation more?
2. What would be your advices for our solution? Do you think it will work?

Thanks a bunch! <3
