Course activities need to offer chances for students to interact with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the keys to successful online and hybrid learning is to create learning communities and collaboration. Simply posting course materials and videos won\u2019t create effective learning experiences alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s vital to think about ways to create communities and maximize engagement in your online or hybrid course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
