Summary:Many institutions of higher education will use online teaching in some form in the coming months. Active learning strategies in online classrooms can present new challenges, especially for quiet or shy students, or students who are not in a location where speaking is feasible.

I propose one online teaching strategy using what I call “student share‐out grids” that is useful for many types of students and promotes community and structure in the online classroom.
