I implemented a participation verification system for an online synchronous class in order to enhance students’ attention as classes have been delivered online due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. The students were asked to submit class record files or notes they took during class via KakaoTalk app, and these submitted materials were evaluated after each class. 64.5% of the students responded that it is appropriate to get their class participation verified 1-2 times during class. Some positive effects of the participation verification system were confirmed: it enhanced students’ attention to class, increased their engagement in class, and facilitated their learning of the class material. Moreover, it was found that the students wanted the instructor to differentiate actively participating students from those who do not and evaluate their performance accordingly.
