Strategies to Focus on Course Content

Check-In Strategy

Strategies for Types of Student Engagement

Impact of Web Camera

Student Comments  Without the camera, I wouldn't feel like I was being watched, so I would wander away from class.  When connection had "hiccups" then could read lips and know if there was more information that was missed  Facial expression and gestures communicate a lot when an instructor is speaking.
