Good Practices
Exit tickets in online learning

Practical tactics to increase students’ online engagement

Background

GEI4008 Growing up and living with AI in Society

Topic: Quality Education and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Design target: To have a learning activity that helps to keep the students’ attention

👩‍🏫 Online    

3 hours   

🎓 24 students

ANALYSIS

Intended learning outcomes:

  1. To describe the technological advances in AI, the promises and challenges of using AI to meet the future needs of education

  2. To name learning resources for AI and digital literacy as 21st century skills

Challenges:

Pedagogy - The change of lesson delivery mode comes unexpected, leaving the teacher with no time to comprehensively redesign the learning activities.

Space - With all the students joining the lesson remotely, it is difficult to evaluate their attentiveness without the help of the usual non-verbal cues.

CO-DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Our solutions:

Redesign the attendance taking process with pedagogical considerations and turn it into an Exit Ticket activity:

  • Instructor inserts short questions at different points throughout the lesson

  • Students are to collect all questions and mark down their answers

  • The answers together form an “exit ticket” collected at the end of the lesson

EVALUATION

Instructor’s reflective comments:

Exit Ticket was introduced in class to engage students and create a fun online learning experience during the pandemic. We believe that the formative assessment aspect of the Exit Ticket method in online lectures provides students with a window to crosscheck their learning progress, reflect and give meaning to the knowledge acquired and constructed. Instructor could also seize the Exit Ticket time to stretch and enhance students’ deep learning by providing constructive feedback.
