    Using memes to promote student engagement and classroom community during remote learning
    (Wiley, 2022-12-07) Tu, Kevin; Sun, Angela; Levin, Daniel M.
    As colleges moved to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, many instructors found it difficult to maintain student engagement and classroom community in the virtual environment. We developed a semester-long activity for a molecular biology research methodology course where students created, and shared original memes related to course content with peers through group chat. Surveys and semi-structured interviews revealed that the exercise was effective in promoting student engagement, a sense of community, and relieving stress.
