Title: Engaging students during and after lectures

Abstract: Many students are reluctant to engage with the full range of support on offer to them at university. For example, they may avoid interacting with their instructors by not asking questions in lectures and tutorials, and many rarely attend office hours. This is in contrast to their experience before university, e.g. in college or sixth form, where engagement is often higher and student-staff interactions are more common. With much larger student numbers on university courses eLearning technologies are often used to promote engagement and reduce barriers to interactions. In this talk, I reflect on how I have used some of these technologies to enhance student engagement, both during and after lectures, with mixed results. I will then contrast the success of these technologies with changes that I have made to make lecture time more interactive and in-person support more accessible.
