High Structure and Scaffolding for Online Learning
The key to engaging students in online learning is through high structure and scaffolding. By providing clear deliverables, deadlines, and assessments, students are more connected to the material. This structure is essential for any field, not just STEM. Transparency is crucial, ensuring students understand what is expected and are encouraged to demonstrate their true knowledge. In the online environment, active learning can be incorporated by prompting students to pause videos for activities or reflections. This method enhances engagement and is part of the high structure model for online learning.
