"Possible" or _the_ reason? If it is not, administering all the medicine mentioned here, will kill your site!


Have you activated https://docs.moodle.org/en/Debugging and confirmed the cause?

In which planet do you live? That crap is hindering your teaching. Complain to the school administration. With all the work-around you waste time and energy of everybody.

You have to make a distinction between "class" work and home work. If you have the luxury of brick-and-mortar classes, make it for (human) interaction. Computer work off-class.

Nothing wrong about it. This is the most common model, often called blended learning.
