Engaging Students Asynchronously

Quick Tips

  • The goal is to MAKE THINKING EXPLICIT!
  • Provide/model examples and non-examples of quality work.
  • Provide ample time, especially for tasks requiring interaction. Take activities that occur during one class session and spread them out over a few days.
  • Allow for multiple means of responses (text, audio, video).
  • For group work, vary groupings from time to time, but have one static grouping that students know will always be consistent.
  • For group work, have assigned roles with clearly articulated duties.
