Sharing your passion and expertise is key to keeping your students motivated and engaged. In this LMScast, Tim Cooper of eCourseDomination.com joins Joshua Millage and Christopher Badgett for an in-depth discussion of engagement and online learning tools and strategies.
Tools like Blab and Periscope give your courses an in-person feel with features like live video and direct interaction, Q&A, and feedback. You can see if students understand your lectures or are having difficulty, which is especially helpful for students with language barriers or cognitive challenges. With these tools your courses will have presence and a level of accountability not easily achieved through text and graphic content alone.
Engagement tools make introductory courses more attractive by showcasing your knowledge, personality and teaching style. Students can really connect with you and will be more likely to take your fee-based courses. These tools are also great for interviews.
As an instructor your purpose is to help your students achieve the learning objectives they signed up with you to reach without losing interest or momentum. Engagement is vital to keeping them in process, and dynamic tools like Blab and Periscope give you one more teaching method to cover multiple learning styles.
Make sure your courses are personal, interactive, and fun in ways that other courses don’t offer. Our LifterLMS course development platform has content integration built in so you can include these interactive tools for engagement and online learning easily and intuitively.
