In this new age of education, students can learn from virtually anywhere. Alongside the developments of new online courses, ways to engage students and keep them engaged must also develop. There are many ways to keep student engagement through an online course. Some examples include frequent instructor communication, groupwork, clear PowerPoints and visuals, organized course formatting, and discussion boards for students and teachers.
Students are more likely to engage themselves with the content when there is clear communication between the student and their teacher. Groupwork between students in online courses help motivate students to work together to solve problems. Interesting visuals in PowerPoints in conjunction with an organized course formatting can grab student attention and keep it for long periods of time. Finally, discussion boards can be a very important way to share ideas between teachers and students. Students can share their ideas on topics within the course, and teachers can direct the conversations to new ideas as appropriate.
