As a junior who worked in the office for ~7 months before WFH, I can confirm that it’s harder to knowledge-share remotely.
As an example, my favorite way to explain concepts is through drawing diagrams on a whiteboard. I’m not sure why, but I haven’t found drawing software that I’ve felt comfortable and swift enough to use in a video call.
Which goes to show that everyone's preferences are different when it comes to learning ... I almost never use diagrams, just give me text (email, articles) or code ... that's why I say give people a choice - even when a company is fully remote employees could still utilize co-working spaces (which then should be encouraged, but not mandatory).
I think what you might need is a tablet and a stylus. Tablet, because a mobile phone does not offer enough screen space and stylus because drawing with a finger doesn't feel the same as drawing with a pen. This is the case for me at least 😅

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
