Asking questions and getting all/most participants to respond in a fun way (an emoji, meme, etc.). Recognizing the effort of all.

Meeting needs by being available to answer questions with both content and process so participants know they are valued.

1 -t is helpful when the facilitator chunks information and allows participants to check in and process information in small pieces.  This allows them to fill involved in the process and allows the facilitator to ensure everyone is ready to proceed.
2 - It is essential that the facilitator continue to engage learners in and out of the activities. Keeping them engaged frequently , but also not making the tasks overwhelming to the user.

I think that the best thing I could do to keep participants engaged and wanting to come back to the online community is by making the content relatable and relevant. I feel like when participants can relate to the experience online, they will value the community and want to engage more.

Relevant & Engaging Content + Intentional Connections (CT)

1)  Sharing content that is relevant and applicable is key.  Having an understanding of the participants in their online community will help with this.  Additionally, asking questions and surveying the community for what they'd like to see in the community also keeps the content relevant and engaging.
2) A facilitator who intentionally reaches out to connect with participants will build trust and community. Leaving comments, using participants' names, giving shoutouts, etc. will help people feel "seen" and "heard" in the community.

One thing that helps keep learners engaged is personalizing responses and asking questions that lead to further conversation.
As the facilitator it is also important that I make the conversation relatable and personal to my participants so they feel like a valued member of the experience.

1) sharing information that benefits my immediate use and various ways to apply it. Especially with something that I already use, offering a different way to enhance what I already do
2) posing a question that will be answered at the next meeting. Essentially, a hook and/or anticipation.

Online facilitators get to see the "big picture" and therefore can make connections that often may go overlooked. By connecting a comment that may have been made hours/days earlier, you can re-engage that participant in the current conversation.

1. Use the tools available in our online platform in meaningful ways that support our learning - not just use them to use them.
2. Find ways for all participants to share their thoughts throughout the session - not necessarily all at once, but at least once. **Don’t let those who are verbal processors to dominate the responses.

1) I think content being very purposefully designed to prompt thoughtful dialogue, just as you would in a face to face environment.....give em something to talk about that matters, and they will talk!!!!

2) As a facilitator, personalizing my responses to participants by name and keeping track so that I don't overlook anyone over time.

And 3) Appropriate pacing, as has been said here several times. Enough time for thoughtful answers but not so much time that participants lose interest.

# data[].attributes.body
I know I appreciate it when an online facilitator takes time to notice me as an individual. I will make sure to take the time to do that for my participants. (S.S.)

Expectations are Clear

1. Keep engaging me in activities where I am able to add to the shared knowledge that already exists in a CoP, while also LEARNING from my peers. I love this Padlet activity because I can see that by asking us adult learners for what will make this CoP relevant, you are valuing our input and will utilize the info to engage us more fully.
2. See me as an individual learner - find ways to call out and connect with each participant - keep us engaged, but also on our toes!

Online facilitators offer direction and a motor. Both are incredibly important. It is not enough to simply point the team in a direction and say go when there is no motor moving them forward. We have all been part of an online scenario where a question has been posed and the response is **crickets**. Likewise, it is not enough to simply keep conversations moving without supplying a direction and destination in which to move towards. These types of conversations can go on forever in online space but often fail to come to a meaningful and actionable conclusion.

I think something that can encourage participants to return are:
1. Questioning: Use questioning to extend thinking.
2. Humor: I think adding humor in a response can drive people back.
3. Curiosity and suspense: Using something to build curiosity or suspense can bring people back as well, riddles, brain activities, visuals. I found that people get super engaged when working to figure something out.
4. Catchy headlines: Using catchy phrases or headliners to grab attention and draw people back can possibly also help.
5. Relevancy: This should probably be my number one, but people need to find relevancy in what they are doing or being asked to do. There should be something that learners can take away and immediately use. When there is relevancy, there is value.

1. Acknowledge the personalities in the room, not just the responses.
2. Ask follow up questions with activities that have us return to the task to respond.

I'm engaged when I know my facilitator 'sees' me -  there are opportunities built in to connect, the lessons are valuable and thoughtfully created, and the feedback is complete, fast and thorough.

I want to keep coming back when I feel like I am contributing to the learning.   That usually happens when others comment or agree with my post.   I also agree with an earlier post that pacing is critical sometimes the pacing is too fast and sometimes it seems to drag on forever.   I like it when I know what to expect with the timing.

1. Responses to assignments and discussion posts are prompt and authentic.
2. Pacing is appropriate to tasks (not too much wait time but also not too fast where I can't process or take notes)
