Classroom engagement
Sometimes it is a challenge to engage students in classroom discussion.
Engagement is one of the most important aspects of online learning. I like to keep the class interested as I will add additional videos and socratic questioning. The problem is that many students do not want to cooperate or answer the questions unless they get points for answering them.
It is hard to explain to them that the exercise is to help them retain the information and be able to use it for their next classes and learn the information.
I concur. However, I have found using other questioning as to how will the student apply the information they have learned? Has been effective. Those who do not respond, I typically send a private message and ask them to participate.
