The instructor needs to have well thought out questions that engage and motivate all students. Some students have a tendency to answer all the questions and in traditional setting there are several ways to handle. In an online environment we need to remember to allow all students time to formulate responses.
I think it you have several questions that can lead to the same answer you will help more students.
I have learned from this segment to avoid asking if the students have any questions as a blanket statement. I almost always do this before moving on to the next subject or within the last few minutes of class. To better educate the class, a better method would be to formulate questions that students most likely have but may not be willing to share. This can lead to a discussion where students do not feel singled out for not understanding content.
Having Effective and efficient instructional strategies put in place plays a huge rol in how develop your questions to evaluate the effectiveness of the material that you are presenting to your classroom. Executing the planning step when developing your questions will greatly increase the strength in those questions and result in better evaluation of the students learning.
