Current events
Take a few minutes at the beginning of each class to have a current events discussion. There is new information related to the pandemic almost daily, so continuing an up to date discussion on a regular basis will help to engage the students to discuss changes and evolving findings related to Covid-19. A discussion can be had on how evidence-based practice influences the changes in findings. Have the students bring news articles/clips that are from the current week to discuss in class. Consider if there is a way to correlate your lecture topic to the current event. For example, if your lecture topic is infectious disease, have the students compare the similarities and differences between Covid-19 and influenza. This activity can be complete both in-person and online.
