The Opportunity
Welcome to the college education revolution.
Big breakthroughs happen when what is suddenly
possible meets what is desperately necessary

Does Engagement and Participation Matter?

● Meta analysis of 225 papers showing data on
student outcomes comparing lectures to
active learning
● Scores improved by 6% in active learning
classes (group work, interactive polls)
● Students are 1.5x more likely to fail with
traditional lecturing vs. active learning
Active Learning Leads to Better Outcomes

“Active learning engages students in the
process of learning through activities
and/or discussion in class, as opposed to
passively listening to an expert. It
emphasizes higher-order thinking and
often involves group work.”
Freeman et al. 2014

“Most classrooms—more like 99.9 percent—on campus are auditoriums. They are built with just one
purpose: focusing the attention of many on the professor. The professor is active, and the audience
is just sitting there, taking in information.”
- Eric Mazur “Twilight of the Lecture”, Harvard Magazine, 2012
Collaborative Learning in Large F2F Courses?!

Instead, you could get away from the auditorium seating and set up
classrooms like you see in elementary schools, where four children sit
around a square table facing each other, and you give them some kind
of group activity to work on: that’s active learning.

Engagement enables
effective teaching and
learning
Simplify the application of learning
science by naturally transitioning from
full-class to small-group interactions
without losing touch with learners. Track
talk time and group dynamics to better
support them.

14
Inclusive classrooms allow
for diverse, measurable
communication channels
● Speaking to the class (“raising hands”)
● Note taking
● Chat posts
● Q&A
● Whiteboard
● Collaborative documents
● Video clips

15
Give students ﬂexibility in
when and how they
communicate with you,
and each other
Provide a safe space for questions to be
asked publicly, anonymously, in real time
or after the fact to encourage shy
students, non-native speakers or those
not fully grasping the material to come
forward.

16
Keep learning in small
groups to foster
peer-to-peer learning
and community
Remote learning has opened the
opportunity for more intimate instruction,
not less.
“There is no back row in a digital classroom”
- Dr. Juan Romo, Rector

17
Use Real-Time
Feedback to Adjust
Teaching Approach
Online learning platforms can indicate
individual and class-wide student
sentiment and understanding via
real-time feedback more easily than in a
tech-free classroom.

18
Designing Engaging
Learning Experiences
Can be Easy
Engageli Action Tags reduce instructor
cognitive load by easily enabling
interactive learning design.
Engageli Action Tags instantly add
polls, quizzes, group settings,
collaboration tools and timer
activities to your existing lesson flow.

Measure, Analyze, Improve
19
Granular Data Measurements Improve Student Outcomes
Engageli follows safe data practices to enable
a meaningful outlook of an individual
learnerʼs class progress, group work,
class-level engagement, and, potentially,
institution-wide outcomes
Sample data points include:
● Attendance
● Hand raises and total class
session talk time (i.e.,
participation)
● Screen shares
● Poll participation / results
● Q&A participation / views
● Chat and communications
● Reactions and session feedback
