Attend to a set of interrelated engagement-support factors when designing remote and hybrid instruction¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

This strategy directs educators planning remote or hybrid instruction to consider a set of identified engagement-support factors rather than treating engagement as a single lever. The source states that "Some of these factors relate to others, and each plays a role in supporting how students engage in learning," so designers should consider the factors together. It arose from educators' pandemic-era need to "promote and maintain student engagement in this new environment."

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Educators planning remote or hybrid instruction consider the identified engagement factors as an interrelated set

Constraints¶

• The supplied page does not print the six factors or implementation guidance, so the strategy is specified only at the level of considering multiple interrelated factors

Target Learners¶

• K-12 students in fully or partially remote instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic

Target Learning Goals¶

• Maintaining and promoting student engagement in remote and hybrid learning

Related Strategies¶

• Consider Socio-Cultural Factors
• When planning for the school year during COVID-19, schools and districts should weigh public health factors alongside educational factors such as potential learning loss
