Utilizing exercises like study guides can be fun, but in the long run it acts as more of a silent work time. Having students drop suggestions in the SI feedback form for activities really helps because you can create an activity- and give the person a shout out so they come to the meeting, and others come with them

Reminder emails the day of or throughout the week are great, and even during the session they may help boost attendance.

but not really lol... Usually before the SI session starts, I like to talk to students about their schoolwork, and what they are enjoying/not enjoying. I find a lot of students are able to open up to me more and end up coming to more SI sessions

# data[].attributes.body
send out emails before each session to give students an agenda of what the session will look like, with the specific activities and concepts covered.

Talk to students before the SI session starts (if some come early). Ask them how they are and how they're feeling. This way, they feel comfortable and may encourage others also to join.

Interact with students. Respond to their questions. Maybe you could send the Zoom link in the chat or advertise your sessions.

post an SI activity on the discussion board, students will know what we do exactly in SI.

during SI, ask students about what activities they want to do in the next sessions, plan what they suggest and they will most likely come again :)

Talk with students about unrelated topics when they are working to build a friendship with them so they seek out your tutoring/SI sessions.

Encourage students who do attend SI sessions to promote SI in the class's WhatsApp group! This environment is usually safe and students trust each other the most because there is no authority in the group. Students promoting SI in such a platform can be a very powerful thing :)

Ask students attending your sessions to tell people in the class to begin attending so they can make a group to come to your sessions.

Make a practice exam and only allow students to access it if they come to SI.

You can incentivize student participation by attaching useful files or links related to their course or their pre-professional goals. It also gave me really useful feedback that helped me improve and raise attendance

Tell students there will be fun activities (kahoots or other fun games)

maybe do an anonymous survey and let students write what they think about sessions and share their responses with other students

Be active in the chat during class zoom sessions

I think this only works for the beginning of the semester when you're advertising SI, but this may have helped to get some students on board. I got this idea from a video about how to get more students for tutoring.

# data[].attributes.body
encouraging students to post on the discussion thread of SI (this will let other students see what kind of activities we do)

Include zoom link and session times in all canvas messages/ emails

# data[].attributes.body
let one student talk infront of the class about their experience in SI (i don't know to what extend this would work, finding that student would be a challenge!)

# data[].attributes.body
Add an SI flyer to the Canvas page

I once saw a video where it talked about how people would be more likely to come to your meetings if you provided a description of what would happen in the meeting so I did that and it seems to improve my attendance a little.

Send practice problems out to students and tell them that in the next session you will go over the answers as a warm-up

Once I created a tournament called "Battle of the Animal Phyla" and I advertised it to the students. A few new students came and they said they liked the game. I also created escape rooms twice and advertised those and it seems to work.
