Planning Collaborative Activities

Research shows that meaningfully integrated interactions (student–content, student–student, and student–teacher) increase learning outcomes.

Setting expectations and building community

Students are accustomed to normal behaviours when studying in a physical classroom but may not be accustomed to suitable behaviours when learning online. They will need clear and concise guidelines for behaviours and activities. Additionally interacting online can quickly become a full-time endeavour. It’s important to set expectations amongst students of what your role involves at the outset, to avoid unrealistic expectations leading to reduced satisfaction.
