Abstract

In this workshop we will explore the implications of the recent paper, “An Online Engagement Framework for Higher Education”, by Redmond, Abawi, Brown, Henderson & Heffernan (2018), which is based on an extensive literature review by the authors. The framework comprises five elements that have been found to be key for student engagement in online courses: social, cognitive, behavioural, collaborative and emotional engagement. In the workshop, we will briefly review the evidence for each of the five forms of engagement, and participants will be invited to consider how each element applies (or might apply) to a module they are responsible for. Participants are encouraged to bring along any planning resources they have for their modules (e.g. module outlines, module specifications, learning outcome statements, assessment rubrics) to refer to during the session. Reading the paper by Redmond et al. in advance is optional.
