From the Archives

Providing engagement opportunities for learners is paramount for their success. There are a host of tools and strategies at your disposal to promote engagement with your learners. Such strategies include posting weekly announcements, replying to student emails within 24 hours, and providing helpful feedback in a timely manner. If you do these practices and want to go further, then consider offering a couple of anonymous survey opportunities throughout the semester and gather student feedback directly! Read our February 21 blog post “Providing Engagement Opportunities for Students”, to learn about strategies like this – and more – for promoting engagement.
