Using Content Release Strategies to Enhance Student Engagement in Asynchronous Online Courses

Student motivation and self-regulation can be a challenge in asynchronous online courses. One strategy to improve student engagement and self-regulation is the use of conditional content release tools in learning management systems. This session will explore the evidence around conditional release, including a randomized controlled trial conducted by the presenter, and will provide opportunities for participants to brainstorm and discuss actionable ways they might implement conditional release in their own courses to improve student engagement.
