In response to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, many educational institutions have moved classes online. One of the biggest challenges in online learning is one-way communication that involves little or no interaction. Injecting ad-hoc small-group discussions may increase classroom interaction but is insufficient in sustaining students’ engagement in an online learning setting. In this paper, we share our experience of using a web application named Sutori to boost students' engagement in an online app development course. We briefly discuss the opportunities and challenges of using Sutori for online interactive learning to benefit other educators of similar needs.
