Engaging Students is very important in the era of online learning, below are tips and tricks to promote student involvement

Comunicate in multiple formats

breakout rooms, white board annotations, whole group discussions

Tell your students information about yourself to help them get to know you and become more comfortable with you

Start each session with an interactive activity (e.g. Roses and thrones)

Encourage chat participation and interaction outside of workshop

Establish a comfortable, unintimidating workshop to promote participation

Zoom makes it very easy for students to fade into the background, so it is important to check-in with students who may not be participating at all
