However, the same teachers did not demonstrate similar levels of care in the practice of asking questions (Ibid.). Further, in virtual seminars we are pressed for time and students are dealing with increased cognitive load (Nunneley, et al., 2021). This presentation provides simple strategies to improve our interrogatory practices in virtual seminars to shift the classroom to a more student-centered learning environment. Strategies include deliberate, targeted questions at the onset of seminar (Nunneley, et al., 2021), using Bloom’s Taxonomy (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001) to create questions that match levels of educational outcomes, and more. We can also help students learn to ask better questions themselves, improving engagement and outcomes (Jacobs & Renandya, 2021).en-USPresentation
