Content: Use interactivity
Implementing tech-enabled learner engagement strategies demands that you take on a different approach as compared to face-to-face sessions. Most asynchronous courses (and even synchronous ones) include limited facilitator intervention. This results in learners getting impatient or losing focus while taking the course – especially when facing text-heavy content or watching long explainer videos. Your goal as a course creator is to keep your learners engaged at every step of training. And when it comes to online learning, increasing learner engagement means including interactive elements in your courses. There are different ways on how you can include interactivity into your modules. In asynchronous courses, you can use pop quizzes, videos, and drag-and-drop activities. Other approaches for synchronous courses (like webinars) are polling, annotation tools, virtual breakout rooms, and shared whiteboards. Also, make sure that your learning management system offers you the ability to create rich content. eFront, for example, natively integrates with H5P to help instructors create and deliver interactive courses.
