The Dark Reality of Online classes in Data Science: Part 2

The Dark Reality of Live Classes in EdTech
Today, let’s talk about another scam happening in the edtech world—live classes and the mixed model of live + recorded sessions. This is something that students should be aware of. Our mission is to aware everyone who is taking any online courses.

Student: Sir, I see many platforms advertising live classes along with recordings. Isn't that a good thing?

Ajay: It sounds great on paper, but the reality is different.
Many platforms lure students in with promises of live classes, but what they actually deliver is a handful of live sessions and mostly pre-recorded videos. The issue is, students believe they’re paying for 100% live classes, but end up with 70% or more recorded content. Recordings are helpful but the recordings of the live classes are helpful.

Student: But I thought having recordings is helpful for revision?

Ajay: Recordings can be helpful for revision, but when most of your learning comes from pre-recorded videos, you're not getting the real value of live interaction.
Many platforms disguise their courses as live but actually offer pre-recorded lectures, with only a few live Q&A sessions. This makes students feel cheated because they signed up expecting personalized interaction, live explanations, and real-time problem-solving. Instead, they get a generic experience with minimal live engagement.

---

Student: That does sound like a scam. Why do they advertise live classes if they don’t deliver?

Ajay: Because live classes are a big selling point.
Students assume live teaching will help them interact with instructors, ask questions in real time, and get better understanding of topics. But platforms don’t have enough qualified instructors to conduct live classes for every batch, so they rely on pre-recorded material and sprinkle in a few live sessions to give the illusion of live learning. This saves them time and money, while cheating students out of a quality experience.

Student: How do we avoid falling for this?

Ajay: Be very careful when choosing a platform.
Ask how much of the course will be taught live and how much is recorded. Insist on a clear breakdown. If live learning is what you’re looking for, avoid platforms that rely too heavily on pre-recorded content. At CareerCraft, we believe that the best learning happens when the majority of the topics are taught live, with opportunities for direct interaction and immediate feedback.

---

Student: That makes sense. So, how is CareerCraft different?

Ajay: At CareerCraft, we focus on live sessions to ensure students get a real, interactive learning experience.
Our goal is to make sure you understand each concept clearly by offering live, instructor-led sessions for most of the topics. Recordings of the live classes are provided for revision, but our primary focus is on live teaching, where students can ask questions, get answers, and engage in real-time discussions. We want you to walk away with skills, not just videos.
