Increasing Engagement during Online Learning through the Use of Interactive Slides
ABSTRACT It is difficult in asynchronous online instruction to keep students engaged and motivated. The rapid and unexpected nature of the move to online instruction has meant that the content presented to students has been primarily static and linear. Thus, there is a need for creative pedagogical...
