Asynchronous Engagement Strategies
Student engagement is essential in a remote classroom, where it is especially important to cultivate the socio-emotional bonds among students and with their instructors that support student motivation and success. Each tab provides engagement strategies that address both teaching scenarios to consider in the planning and delivery of a remote course.

Planning an Engaged Remote Classroom
Assign roles during each class discussion. For example, assign a student to initiate the class’s discussion with a question, quotation or example; assign a student to wrap up discussion, identifying key ideas, themes or additional questions; or, ask a student (or TA if appropriate) to monitor the Zoom chat for questions or comments and share them with the class.

Design activities or assessments that require student interaction throughout the semester. An instructor can use group work or projects, peer review and/or peer instruction, student presentations, class debates, and discussion forums in online courses. Students can present, discuss, or debate using Zoom during live sessions or record presentations and responses that students can watch asynchronously.
