Multimedia engagement to increase student success

In this activity

  • The template uses a clip from the show ‘Ted Lasso’  as an example, but another relevant video can be substituted to suit your course.
  • Students generate their own discussion questions and respond to each other, as no pre-set questions are provided, encouraging independent thinking and active engagement.
  • Anonymity is disabled, allowing students to see who authored each discussion post, though this setting can be adjusted if needed.
  • A reflection step is included, prompting students to connect the content to their personal practice and identify actionable takeaways.
