No first hand knwowledge here... At first, I was thinking wow that sounds interesting. Might work. Sorta sounds like college.

But then I realized it only looks nice on paper, and it flies in the face of the very skills that define a good or great teacher.

A great teacher is a storyteller of knowledge. A storyteller is different than an author in that they have an immediate performative task. They are aware of their audience and they energize their audience, dynamically change their content, etc. The storyteller also learns from their audience as to what is effective, interesting, difficult, and becomes better at their craft.
