Biweekly Call Questions and Comments
- General comments
  - It seems like the organization believes they will stick to a virtual format for a while.
  - From Shanta, the breakout sessions were very engaging and a nice change. Lisa thinks they are great because she can learn about what other groups are doing.
- Mural
  - A very popular choice within the organization. They have decided to employ Mural into their current programming.
  - Side note: they requested information on possible trainings for the program.
Curriculum
- Have they done any modifications for virtual? Have they reached out to the creator of the curriculum?
  - They have reached out to some TAs about modifying for virtual. The TAs gave them a tip sheet but nothing else aside from that.
  - No official guidance on how to modify, so they have been just adding things to it (games, apps, etc.)
- Adding games/apps for engagement purposes
  - Some of these games do not add engagement because they could be activities like simple statements, true or false, etc. Activities that do not promote discussion or further engagement.
  - Their games required movement and physical acts which is hard to convert to virtual.
Engagement Between Middle/High School Groups
- High School
  - Very good with technology
  - Not as engaged – only few people speak up. Rest do not contribute much.
  - Kahoot is mixed. Need more incentives for the group to contribute.
- Middle School
  - More excited and engaged – this is the first time they are seeing the material.
  - Not as tech savvy
  - Kahoot works very well
Engagement Measures
- It’s been difficult to measure engagement within virtual settings. It’s easier in person to measure engagement levels compared to watching a screen.
- We need to come up with a baseline measure for their current levels of engagement.
Action Items
- Develop survey materials for measuring baseline engagement
  - Their current survey measures other variables and does not focus on engagement
- For Rob: See if there are any alternatives to Kahoot that allows for better engagement and animations
