Most students would like to interact with others in their courses. Students need to be engaged with other students, the "outside world", in groups, and need opportunities for self-assessment and reflection. We can provide our students with opportunities to create presentations and portfolios, where they can create their own videos, find and display images and add links to web sites. The chart below provides ideas for engaging activities you can add to your classes.
