| Summary: | Online education has fundamentally altered the educational landscape, enhancing accessibility and flexibility for learners. However, a notable limitation of asynchronous learning modalities is the diminished interpersonal engagement inherent in traditional face-to-face pedagogical contexts. This empirical inquiry investigates the impact of deliberately integrating highly interactive instructional activities within online asynchronous developmental mathematics courses. Three principal thematic categories emerged through the iterative design process of these activities. Each category is delineated and exemplified, followed by exploring course policies conducive to student achievement in interactive learning contexts. Following a grounded theory approach, this study scrutinizes course outcomes alongside student and instructor evaluations at the semester’s end. Findings suggest incorporating social interactive activities yields positive effects on course outcomes. |
