Student Engagement in Online Learning

The Internet and the World Wide Web have transformed
delivery systems and methodologies in education
through online learning. Responding to an
increasing demand for greater accountability in
higher education, student engagement has become a
prominent and acceptable assessment of collegiate
quality. A modified version of the NSSE instrument
that evaluates on-campus engagement is used to
measure student engagement in online learning. The
study details the level of engagement against key
engagement benchmarks, uncovers a number of
distinctive engagement patterns in sub-groups, and
discusses the relationship of the student s level of
satisfaction with the entire educational experience.
