FLO Friday: Sustaining Student Engagement Online
October 23, 2026
Facilitator: Mariela Kruger de Azevedo
Host: Helena Prins
Keeping learners genuinely engaged, especially in online courses, is a persistent challenge made even more complex with the rise of AI. Join us for this one-hour Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) session to explore a different approach: instead of competing with AI for students' attention, can we use AI to sustain it?
Participants will explore accessible tools and leave with at least one concrete strategy they can use in their courses. This hands-on session focuses on practical approaches for keeping students present, active, and connected. The session is grounded in the Community of Inquiry framework and is appropriate for instructors across all disciplines and experience levels. No prior AI experience is required.
