Students were allowed to share their ideas during the discussion. For the control style, students who participated in the live conference were also allowed to share their opinions about the case. After each type of conference, questionnaires assessed the participants psychological safety using Edmondsons psychological safety scale along with autonomy, satisfaction, and preference of the conference. We also counted the number of students SE during each conference.
