How the Metaverse Can Improve Student Engagement and Learning: Using AR and VR in the Classroom

How can you use simple Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) tools in your own course? In this session, Juanita Wallace explains how you can transport your students into an entirely different world

To Implement the Four Corners Strategy in your classroom:

1. Prepare a question with four possible correct answer choices that align with the lesson content or the goal of the check for understanding activity. Attempt to design your questions so that they can elicit an open-ended response, and where more than one answer choice could be correct, depending on the justification and rationale provided by the student.
2. Display the question on the projector screen or read the question aloud.
3. Inform students of four locations in the classroom, one that represents each answer choice. Students should move to the location in the room that represents their choice.
4. Encourage 100% participation and remind students to make their own choice and not be dependent on what other students choose.
5. Choose at least one student from each answer choice to defend their answer verbally, or allow groups to discuss the reason for their choice.
6. When

This Top 20 LMS list has been created using a holistic approach and is based on input from actual LMS users. The order of appearance depends on Customer Satisfaction (CSAT Score), Customer Effort (CEF Score) & Customer Expectation (CEX Score). You can also find LMS Customer Experience Resources that will help you choose the right software.

This Top 20 LMS list has been planned following a holistic approach based on input from actual users who were willing to share their experience with the LMS. Only reviews that were posted in the last 24 months were considered during the evaluation process. The reviews have been verified one by one by eLearning Industry. The order of appearance is a function of the following metrics:

Customer Satisfaction (CSAT Score): measures the degree of customer happiness with a particular product, service, or interaction.

Customer Effort (CEF Score): quantifies the amount of effort required to

Cooperative Writing

During Cooperative Writing, one specific strategy involves the teacher assigning writing tasks to two students, and they take turns completing a writing task. The teacher may often provide some specific instructions like

“Discuss in pairs _____ and then take turns responding to the prompt___.”

Students then take turns to record their writing, building on each other’s sentences or paragraphs. They can also use this time to check each other’s work.

Pairing students during cooperative writing can serve many purposes:

• Struggling students paired with higher performing students can provide an avenue for the struggling student to learn proper grammar and vocabulary usage. In contrast, the higher performing student can practice reviewing writing rules with his or her peer.
• Two higher performing students can challenge each other to include additional details, more complex vocabulary, or a more refined sentence structure.
• Two lower performing students, with the help of the teacher,
