You could require that students keep their video on, but my spouse, who has been teaching undergraduate and graduate courses since spring, says it’s not always a great idea, because some students may be ashamed of their home surroundings or their appearance. He takes attendance by seeing who has signed in, and he can log the time they’ve spent if they’ve had to watch a recording of rather class because they are in a different time zone (a number of his students are back in Asia). The real test, he thinks, is how they perform on turning in assignments and final papers, and participate in class. His summer course had 100% compliance on those scores.

Teaching violin via Zoom is not ideal, but it’s certainly better than nothing, you’d have to agree.
