Engaging Students through Zoom
Updated onArticleIn some ways, a remote class session can seem like one long educational video to students. While multiple studies have shown that video, specifically, can serve as a highly effective educational tool (Brame 2016), using video is not inherently effective. Studies have shown that attention to educational video can drop to 50% after 9-12 minutes of instruction (Guo et al. 2014). Consequently, how can you ensure your online class results in effective teaching and learning?
To promote learning, we encourage you to consider how you might leverage the following menu of Zoom tools. When introduced and structured well, each tool has the potential to engage students in questions and/or activities, to provide clarity for learning, and to highlight the relevance of course content to student experience, especially in a new and unchartered context.
We encourage you to focus on the intended learning goals for your students as you consider which Zoom strategy to employ. What knowledge do you hope students will attain? What skills will students learn? What viewpoints will students develop? Prioritize approaches that will help your students practice and achieve the learning you intend.
As you select Zoom teaching tools, also keep in mind that not all Zoom features are accessible to all students based on their learning needs and abilities. Please consult our Zoom Considerations for Teaching Students with Disabilities page or contact the Poorvu Center for further assistance.
