This is equivalent to 15 classes per weekĪll VIPKID classes are one-on-one to ensure we meet 100% of each of our student’s needs To maximize your class bookings, we recommend you to be available at least 7.5 hours during Beijing peak times (Mon-Fri 6-10pm, and Sat-Sun 9am-10pm). All teachers are encouraged to check their emails and schedule in the VIPKID system daily. Teachers’ weekly schedules are sent out each Saturday at 10AM Beijing time. Teachers must submit their weekly availability one month in advance. Note that 3 minutes are allowed to fix technical problems, if the problems aren’t resolved by then, the class is cancelled. The total commitment time is always 30 minutes per class (not including preparation). After which, teachers may use a few minutes to leave comments regarding the finished session.

We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this software available. If anyone knows a real answer (not just rumors), id love to hear from you.Each class must have an active teaching time of 25 minutes. CamMask 1.5.5 was available to download from the developer's website when we last checked.
Maybe it is just sort of a trial run right now. I hope they eventually do the right thing and roll it out to all students.
It has been officially out for the past couple of weeks (i think), but I have only taught one so far.
As of now, it seems like they are probably using this as an upsell to make more money. We can listen to audio on this, move objects on the slides, prevent the students from drawing on the board, use reward slides properly, and it even gives us a timer to use.
These not only look more visually appealing, teachers and students are now able to manipulate activities on the slide. To add, they just created "interactive" lessons. VIPkid also asks that we create Skype as a back-up plan, but you never actually see them mention it ever again. As someone else said, the teacher always writes in red and the student always writes in blue. The original software allows us to use their provided powerpoint slides that we are then able to draw/write on. The company is responsible for attracting students to the platform, but classes are booked based on the parents’ discretion. VIPKID hires American or Canadian teachers as independent contractors. VIPkid uses its own software to do video conferences. It is an online English teaching platform that caters to teaching young children in China.
