What Are the Most Effective Strategies to Boost Student Engagement in Online Courses?

Hi Udemy Instructors,
I’ve recently launched a new course on Udemy and while enrollments are starting to grow, I’ve noticed that student engagement (measured by completion rates, Q&A activity, and reviews) could be stronger. I want to make sure my students not only watch the content but also stay motivated and complete the course.
Could you share your most effective strategies or tools for boosting engagement? Specifically, I’d love to hear about:
Techniques to encourage students to complete assignments and quizzes
Best practices for using the Q&A section or direct messaging
Ideas for adding value that keeps students coming back (bonus lectures, downloadable resources, etc.)
How to balance adding more interaction without overwhelming students
Any tips from your own experience or resources you recommend would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Would love to hear on this topic…can Udemy use AI and help instructors on this while creating the course content?
