I used more online-based tools such as Kahoot, Socrative, Zoom whiteboard, and Padlet to support the online learning environment. Students were kept engaged through the semester through engaging and relaxed delivery inspired by several Youtube channels, as well as providing them with frequent communication regarding expectations in their assessments and learning outcomes. Instead of an individual presentation assignment, I assigned students into pairs to create a podcast assessment – all of which were good quality. Paper-based closed book quizzes were now all done on Canvas quizzes as open-book, with significantly less short answer questions and more MCQ.
