Are they actually reading my online materials? #1321

The last year has seen an explosion in the need for online and hybrid language courses, and with that has come many challenges and opportunities. One of the many challenges is tracking whether or not learners are in fact accessing and interacting with the online materials. Students submit their assignments, but are they actually reading the material? And if they are, which documents do they focus on? Using OneDrive's data tracking functions, this presentation gives an overview of how students interacted with the course material in an intermediate-level presentation course of approximately 500 students. The presentation covers the main trends in terms of which materials were prioritised and most frequently viewed, and also makes recommendations for how teachers can better organise online materials to allow for maximum engagement.
