How do we break this silence and boost student participation in our classroom? Here we’ll dive into strategies to encourage more active participation and examine why participation matters to students and educators. Understanding these barriers is important to foster a more inclusive, engaged classroom environment.
Moreover, virtual classrooms often utilize a variety of technological tools that enhance interactivity and collaboration.

She’s also director of the Center for Teaching Excellence there, which provides faculty with support for instruction, edtech, course design, classroommanagement and grading. Some schools do, but a lot of schools generally leave absence management up to individual instructors. But I can't put exact numbers on that.
What is Peer-to-peer Learning Peer-to-peer learning is where individuals learn from and with each other rather than relying on a traditional teacher or instructor. Examples include study groups, coding boot camps where participants critique each others work, or online communities where users share expertise.
UNIVERSE helps teachers solve the engagement problem with a metaverse concept—students and teachers can feel more present and participate in natural conversation. What other classroommanagement tools are available for teachers? Creating a Sense of Belonging with Virtual Worlds. There's a lecture mode in UNIVERSE.

In 2019, the US Department of Education reported that one in every three American high school students participates in dual enrollment courses (Shivji & Wilson, 2019), a number expected to rise in the coming years. Texas is one such state where rapid expansion is underway. They may not.
An instructor can ask students to take out their mobile phones and check for the answers. Active participation from the instructor during a class activity holds equal significance. Instructors can engage students when they establish a practical connection between theory and practice. Can you find it?
However, the classroom is not immune to the challenges of the wider world. Increasingly, instructors report difficulty maintaining students attention, citing ever-present distractions like smartphones, laptops, and a relentless stream of digital notifications. Yet these are not the only factors at play.

Students are often reluctant to seek academic help from their instructors, despite the fact that many of them could benefit from the help. The probability of student help-seeking behavior is a function of several independent and interacting factors that include qualities of the student, instructor, and environment.
My goal of last semester was to build community within my classroom from day one and throughout the semester. I consistently wanted to integrate community building activities for the students to participate in and feel safe and comfortable.

Given suspicions that a student has cheated in a course, one of the most common recommendations is that an instructor meets with the student to discuss those suspicions. For the instructor, leveling accusations, even in the presence of stone-cold certainty, is almost equally unpleasant. No one wants this meeting.

An additional study highlighted the importance of self-regulation in student success noting that simple reminders and tools to aid in submitting work on time and to participate are essential to student success (Ting, Teh, and Wee, 2022).

As I brainstormed ways instructors could help students, I remembered the new and highly successful 988 crisis line and other hotlines (such as the text line 741741). In fact, I’m sure many instructors list their contact information and job title(s) in signature lines. Many institutions have signs on campus advertising these hotlines.
