Difficult to teach in personStudents’ first time taking a research methods courseEven more difficult onlineLack of connecting with students to get them through this experienceIncreased Interaction is Necessary
Old VersionMainly text-basedRead articles or text bookComplete discussion board assignmentsSubmit papersNot interactive or inviting students to utilize the course platform
The Cone of Experience highlights the various ways to interact with content. To reach the most students and increase retention it is important to present content in a variety of modalities and give students multiple ways to interact with the content. As we worked on improving the course we aimed to use as many modalities as possible and strive for maximum engagement.
