Through this course, I have gained valuable insights into improving student engagement in an online learning environment. While I have identified areas where I am already effective, I have also discovered several strategies that can further enhance student engagement.
One key area for improvement is increasing my participation in weekly discussions. Although it is not necessary to respond to every student, I recognize the importance of engaging with a few students each week. Moving forward, I will prioritize responding to students who have not yet received peer interactions to ensure a more inclusive discussion experience.
Another critical area for enhancement is the implementation of content chunking. I have observed that students may feel overwhelmed by the structure and workload of the weekly modules. By breaking content into smaller, more manageable sections, I can help students navigate the material more effectively and improve their overall learning experience.
