The online engagement framework: Activating students’ online learning experience

It is widely known that the activation of student learning and engagement has a positive correlation to student success, motivation, persistence, and course completion.  Yet, there is still limited guidance for academic staff seeking knowledge related to learning and teaching, pedagogical design and strategies to afford types of engagement, all of which are critical to improving students’ learning experiences and outcomes.


Active Learning in Higher Education

1. Engaging students in authentic project-based learning to facilitate the development of graduate attributes in the context of professional preparation.

The first presentation covers how integrating authentic project-based learning in the form of a song competition into the curriculum design fosters students’ employability thinking.

2. Sharing learning and teaching experiences with team-based experiential learning when transitioning from face-to-face to online learning.
