It is important to think about how to engage students in the course so they are motivated to continue working on it. E.g. via making activities relevant to their lives, engaging them with their peers in interesting discussions, giving them choices in projects.

Speaking broadly, interaction occurs at three levels

• Interaction with the instructor

• • Scheduled live lectures via web conferencing

  • Scheduled course meetings via web conferencing

  • Recorded Lectures

  • Discussion forums

  • Office hours

  • Timely feedback on course work

• Interaction with peers

  • Discussion forums

  • Collaborative assignments

  • Peer review of course work

  • Student-led or moderated activities

• Interaction with the course content

  • Assigned readings/videos

  • Recorded Lectures

  • Worked examples

  • Practice problems

  • Learning activities

• See the templates for lecture-based and seminar-style sessions to see examples of all of these.
