Which matters most? Quantity, immediacy and regularity of engagement in an asynchronous course

• In Event: LED- Perspectives on Motivation (h)

Short Description

Is more engagement always better in asynchronous courses? Time-based indicators, such as how quickly and how regularly students engage, can provide more nuanced views of student success than quantity-based measures alone. Using data collected over seven semesters (n = 438), this study applied various indicators of student engagement to three lesson types in order to identify trends and predictors of student success. Findings provide guidance for practitioners and researchers contemplating ways to support student engagement online.
