Educators should ensure learners receive all necessary information well before the session, allowing ample time for preparation that includes reflection on session topics, question formulation, and information gathering to foster meaningful participation. Scheduling should accommodate learners' diverse schedules and time zone differences, aiming for sessions with a manageable group size of five to six and not exceeding a 30-minute total duration, inclusive of time for social interaction at the start and end. Communication strategies include personalizing responses, controlling the pace of text chat by breaking down long responses, and, where feasible, utilizing video conferencing tools to enhance engagement and facilitate discussion. These measures aim to optimize learner participation and interaction in educational sessions.
