Fort Hays and Cloud County teams report comparable pass/fail rates but note online challenges
Presenters from Fort Hays State University and Cloud County Community College said pass/fail rates in gateway math and English were comparable across online and in-person sections, while warning that online delivery requires substantial instructor engagement and early course design work.

Question for teachers/instructors: Has anyone ever assigned students to research the Fediverse or join a Mastodon instance as part of a class project? I'm designing a course project and am curious what other folks might have done.

I really am curious and not being snarky.

"Flipped classroom" #coursedesign #highered #teaching for example, presumes student preparation...

How do you feel about this?

For example, do you call on students by name to answer questions that, if they did the prep. work, they should know

Or do you just call on the class as a whole instead of "putting someone in the hot seat" and hope that someone answers? #coursedesign #teaching #highered

Unpopular opinion?
If your class design is structured in a way that depends on student preparation before class in order to do in-class activities, then require accountability for that prep work.

Blog post cover titled "Using the W Curve Concept to Encourage Student Support and Success in the Online Classroom" Blog post excerpt reading: "Encouraging engagement early in the course helps students to either quickly move through, or skip, the phases of culture shock and mental isolation where students feel overwhelmed and siloed. The result is a sense of acceptance and integration."
