Looking for feedback from anyone with experience teaching or learning an online course

Hi guys, I'm currently working for a start-up that's building an online marketplace for live stream teaching/learning.

A little bit about the product (SKIP IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN THE DETAILS): It's an education marketplace where teachers will be able to create classes and then go live at their scheduled time, talk to all their students, share screen both ways and just make money teaching anything they're passionate about online. You can even use your phone to teach on-the-go. On the other hand, students can learn from teachers anywhere and they'll be able to ask questions, connect with other students and interact in this "virtual classroom".

However, we're looking for some feedback as there seems to be some limitations and problems which are holding back from choosing to make a career out of online teaching or to further their skills by learning online with the platforms that are currently available (e.g. Udemy, Skillshare, Lynda etc). We want to know if you have thoughts on what features are required to make using an online education platform a positive experience or what aspects of existing platforms are problematic.

I've created a short (won't take more than a few minutes + you can skip the long responses if you want), anonymous survey with specific questions I would love to get some advice on. You can find it here: https://amyguan.typeform.com/to/ivwc7N

Otherwise if you have any thoughts/feedback to share in the comments that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
