Participation Policies, Expectations, Grading, and Feedback

<Clearly detail expectations of attendance>
<Clarify expectations for participation>
<What are the different ways students can participate? For example, some students may not be able to have their camera on for various reasons including place of learning, background noise, or young children. What other ways can students show participation--chat, notes, shared cloud documents, etc.?
<How will you grade or evaluate participation?>
<How will students receive feedback on their participation?>
<Consider using a rubric to drive your assessment of their participation or collaboration. This will give the students clarity on what you expect of them, and they will have a place to reference to ensure they are meeting all the marks. See an example participation rubric. Make a copy and customize for your own course.>

Example Participation Styles

<Create a video> that students can review prior to your live sessions that demonstrates virtual participation skills such as...
- Using the "raise your hand" feature on Zoom
- Keeping up with comments and links shared in chat
- Utilizing Zoom annotations/white board

Breakout Room Guide

Will you regularly be using breakout rooms? <Create a breakout room guide> so students have a basic structure--for example--introduce yourself, create a shared document, assign a note taker, and be prepared to share what you learned with the larger group.
