10 Tools for Increasing Engagement in Online Courses

Nik Peachey: Over the last few years I've done a lot of work developing writing and redeveloping online courses and course materials.

 

In the initial rush to get learning online many organisations got themselves a Moodle platform and then attached a whole load of PDFs and .docs, added some forums and the odd video clip and called it an online course. It's no surprise then that drop out rates for online learning courses have been so high.

I found this interesting since you as an online teacher need to be creative and these tools help you a lot. Goanimate its an easy tool for creating short animated dialogues making the course fun. There are a lot of things here that can help you to be interactive into the courses.

"Google Earth was one of the very first pieces of software that I began to create educational resources with. As I put it in one of my first ever blog posts 5 years ago: ”This app won me over straight away.” The engaging environment really struck a chord with me and I remember fondly my first forays into using it to support learning. It has developed so much over the years...."
