Student Engagement

 1. Five strategies to facilitate student engagement in an online setting are:

a) Interactive activities: Incorporating interactive activities such as quizzes, polls, and discussions can help students stay engaged and participate actively in the online class.

b) Personalized feedback: Providing personalized feedback to students on their assignments and assessments can help them stay motivated and engaged in the course.

c) Collaborative learning: Encouraging students to work in groups and collaborate on projects can help them stay engaged and learn from each other.

d) Multimedia content: Using multimedia content such as videos, podcasts, and infographics can help students stay engaged and understand complex concepts better.

e) Gamification: Incorporating game-like elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards can help students stay engaged and motivated to complete the course.

2. As an online instructor, I would use these strategies in the following ways:

a) Interactive activities: I would use online tools such as Kahoot, Mentimeter, and Padlet to create interactive activities that students can participate in during the class. This will help kids better understand the material and more efficiently practice with the material that they are learning.

b) Personalized feedback: I would provide personalized feedback to students on their assignments and assessments using online tools such as Turnitin and Google Docs. Along with this, I would provide in-person instruction and feedback. This will allow students to ask questions, and there be no confusion between me and them.

c) Collaborative learning: I would use online tools such as Google Meet and Zoom. This can be effective for students who have a schedule where it is more efficient for them to be on Zoom.
