Of course in a class of 50 students it’s impossible for everyone to have equal opportunities to come up and interact with the remote volunteer. The graph above shows that the increase in enjoyment wasn’t dependent on having interacted a lot with me - it happened for nearly everyone. In fact the students who interacted more than 10 times with me over the whole period were the only ones who actually went down in enjoyment. Maybe you can have too much of a good thing?! :-)
We think that these results are really exciting and have implications for other contexts around the world too. We’d really like to know what you think of course as well. Please leave a comment below. And if you think you’d like to do something similar in a large class that you teach too then please get in touch and we’ll try to arrange it.
