Description
Engagement plays a critical role in student success, yet with so many distractions around in the online environment and in the lecture hall it is not always easy to keep students engaged. So, “How do you know if your students are engaged?” In this session I will share a few new and not-so-new methods to promote student engagement and enhance student learning. Some are old tools (clickers, think-pair-share) with a new twist (applying methods of retrieval-practice). I will also share an online resource for students in both online and on ground classes that provides individualized learning paths and reporting tools to help students use metacognition and goal setting to improve their learning. In all these methods students examine new material (lather), recall the information (rinse), and retrieve it in some manner (repeat).
