This module was helpful for emphasizing the importance of iteration. It can be easy to fall into the same routine with lectures, but prioritizing feedback from students is important. I tend to iterate on my slides and will continue to iterate more.

This module furthered the idea that alternating between forms of interactive online communication can help with class engagement. It also discussed some troubleshooting techniques when encountering technical issues. I intend to utilize these in upcoming lectures.

This module highlighted the effectiveness of breakout rooms for me. I hadn't quite utilized those or polls. I usually focus on discussion stemming from open ended questions. This gave me some additional tools to improve class engagement. I intend to apply breakout rooms and polls to my upcoming lectures.

I've learned that utilizing a variety of content and breaking things into smaller sections can help increase engagement from students. Also, establishing a culture of participation early on can be crucial for maintaining that kind of environment later into the course.
