Whether we use synchronous or asynchronous online sessions, whether we call it distance or virtual learning, we're all challenged to provide meaningful education experiences at a distance as the education world grapples with the impact of Covid-19. This type of learning is nothing new, but it is new to many of us and has caused us to quickly shift our practices.

- Use formative assessment during instruction for feedback on effectiveness of teaching strategies:
- Invite students to discuss their thinking about a question or topic in pairs or small groups; then ask a representative to share the thinking with the larger group (think-pair-share).
- Present several possible answers to a question, then ask students to vote on them.
- Ask all students to write down an answer; then read a selected few out loud.
- Have students write their understanding of concepts before and after instruction.
- Ask students to summarize the main ideas they've taken away from a lecture, discussion, or assigned reading.
- Have students complete a few problems or questions at the end of instruction and check answers.
