What if stronger engagement didn’t mean more work?

There’s a common assumption in teaching right now:
If you want more participation, more connection, and better discussion, it’s going to cost you more time.

In many courses, the issue isn’t that students aren’t capable of engaging. It’s that the structure of the course makes instructors responsible for carrying the conversation.

This session looks at what changes when that dynamic shifts:

  • Move participation from compliance to contribution
  • Shift responsibility from instructor-led to peer-driven
  • Reduce repetitive grading and oversight
  • Create space for more meaningful, student-led interaction
