a discussion questions.
Discussion
questions can increase student’s engagement time on your training events. It is
helpful to develop a discussion question bank that can be used to generate
ideas for student discussion topics. You can create that document with Microsoft
Word or Excel. It is a challenging part for students to think critically which
means asking/discussing questions that require analysis.
2. Resource
sharing.

will answer questions based on the training event text and without venturing
out to find other training resources on the topic. Resource sharing tips will
increase competition for online trainer and students to access all resources
online or text documentation. Information sharing is an extraordinary technique
for student’s engagement on particular session.
3. "Real
world" Examples Discussion.

example. The online teacher can challenge students to think of real scenarios
that they have encountered, that mirrors the objectives of the week. As each
student has different strengths, the online class can benefit from the work
experience of each student. This is a great way to help students to engage and
discuss with each other.

instructor should always engage in discussion for the real world or subject
topics with their students. This will build respect and bring in appreciation,
of the expertise of the instructor from the students. It helps to bring good
relationship between teacher and students, also improve student’s subject
knowledge.

Students have lot of ideas, questions, and expectations from an
online course. As an online trainer you can help the students to stay engaged and
exceed their class expectations by taking suggestions for topics that are
related to the weekly objectives. Make a platform for students to explain their own
ideas with trainers and other students.
