Over the last 50 years, research in student engagement has examined relationships between engagement and student outcomes such as attrition, retention, learning, and satisfaction. Most recently, social and academic integration have been the central focus, especially in contexts where students and faculty are distanced by time and space, such as in online and blended courses. In this presentation, Tanya Joosten will discuss how to design such courses and gather evidence of their effectiveness.

Interactivity

20. 1.) interactions with students and
their instructors, mentors, advisors,
or coaches (think learner support)

21. 2.) interactions among students
meaning collaborative learning
(peer, groups experiences)

22. 3.) experiences that are active
meaning moving beyond didactic
lectures and exams

23. 4.) content and activities that
require a higher level taxonomy of
skills and abilities to complete
rather than basic recall

24. 5.) assessments and learning
outcomes that are more frequent
and authentic preparing students
for their future professional and life
in society
