​Break up the lesson with quizzes. Have a slide that prompts the next quiz question.

Multiple Choice

What is an online synchronous lesson?

• Learning materials are accessed at different times.

• Learning materials are accessed at the same time.

• Learning materials are synched to audio.

• Learning materials are synched to visuals.

​Then, continue the lesson and prompt the next quiz question. This can ensure that learners are engaged in active learning.

Multiple Choice

Which online activity is NOT synchronous?

• Presentation Activities

• Interactional activities

• Remote Assessment open from 11/10 - 11/12

• Zoom Meeting

• ​Create your own quiz or discover one that is public.

• ​Customize the timeframes

• ​Involve students.

• ​Interactive and fun!

​Keep track of students' performance. It can be downloaded to an excel sheet, pdf, or even integrated with your Canvas LMS.

​⬅️ Go to Reports

​Performance Reports are great because instructors are able to have an idea which students were engaged with the lesson, which parts of the lesson they may have drifted away, and/or which individuals may just need some extra support.

​

​

​Students are also able to use their scoreboards to self-regulate their own learning progress, as well as looking back at previous quiz performances throughout the course.
