Over the years, I’ve developed strategies and best practices that have significantly improved student engagement and success in online courses. Here are some proven techniques that I’ve used, along with the challenges I’ve faced and the outcomes achieved.
1. Creating a Structured and Intuitive Course Design
Best Practice: Ensure that the course layout is well-organized, easy to navigate, and consistent within the LMS.
Success: Students have reported feeling less overwhelmed and more confident in accessing materials and completing assignments.
Challenge: Some students still struggle with technology or LMS navigation.
Solution: I provide step-by-step video tutorials and an introductory “course tour” to familiarize them with the layout.
