the “interruption protocol” which is the
equivalent of “raising hands” of students in
face-to-face instruction. Name of student
is requested to be stated to be
recognized.

think prior to giving of answers to the
questions or problems raised.
Have small group discussions when
solving complex problems.

student to avoid students dominating
the teaching and learning process.
