Keeping Students Engaged<\/h2>\n
As classes transition to an online synchronous format, one of the biggest challenges we\u2019ve heard about from faculty has to do with retaining the attention of their students through the duration of a lecture. In an in-person setting, students are a captive audience. But when students are not directly with you, it can not only be difficult to gauge and react to their reactions and expressions but can be challenging to even get them to participate in the live session. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing some live session facilitation ideas that will offer some unique ways to break up the monotony of a sage-on-the-stage approach to lectures and deliver a significant learning experience by drawing students into the content.
