Online Engagement
In my face to face college algebra courses, the exam average sits at about 70%. In my online classes, the average is closer to 45%. I provide lecture videos, the same guided notes which is intended to be completed while watching the lecture, and many more resources to help students succeed.
What can I do to get more out of my online courses? I reiterate over and over again in announcements and course introduction videos how important it is to watch the videos along with completing the notes. Yet, about half of the students even click on the video links and fail the midterm exam horribly. I don’t know what else to do.
