Improving student engagement
Sustaining student engagement is one of key challenges of teaching and learning in online learning environments. The challenge can be broken down into at least three parts:
Student belonging and sense of community
This includes designing your learning environment so that it becomes an engaging, student-centred and safe learning environment.
Pedagogical design for engagement
This refers to ensuring that the design of your unit includes opportunities for active learning, feedback and effective assessment design.
Measurement of student progress
