STAR: How Can I Add Interactivity to My Online Content?

Hours: 1

MAKE YOUR ONLINE CONTENT MORE INTERACTIVE
Giving students repeated opportunities to interact with content is essential for learning. Too often, however, students don’t have this option in online and hybrid classes. They might interact with content through homework or extra readings, but they miss out on the type of immediate engagement with course material found in the face-to-face classroom.

BENEFITS
Your presenter leads an exciting discussion about how to add interactivity to increase student learning and retention of course material.
Discover the two types of memory and the key roles they play in learning, and become familiar with the favored tools in preparing interactive online content. A series of embedded screenshots demonstrates these tools in action.
With your presenter as your guide, you’ll have a one-on-one tutorial with multiple examples for adding interactive segments to your online content.
Watch this video, and you will master how to:
Embed interactive elements into your online classes
Make it easier for students to discuss content
Use discussion forums, Google Forms, EDPuzzle, and ThingLink
Add the right amount of interactive moments to gain the best results

LEARNING GOALS
The presentation covers tactics for engaging students, such as requesting feedback at timely intervals, posing questions for discussion, and taking periodic pauses that allow the student to consider and retain the subject matter in each course unit. You’ll learn how to prepare videos that draw students in and get them to respond by adding tags and links to other sites.
