Student Engagement Techniques: Designing Learning Experiences That Motivate and Activate Students
Student engagement is more than participation—it emerges from the interaction between motivation and active learning. This two-part workshop introduces a research-informed framework for understanding engagement and applying it intentionally in course design.
Part 1 focuses on how motivation and active learning work together and how to design learning experiences that support both, helping faculty move beyond isolated engagement activities toward more coherent learning design.
Part 2 centers on selecting and adapting specific student engagement techniques aligned with different learning goals—from recall and analysis to problem-solving and application—while also supporting community, appropriate challenge, and learner self-awareness.
Participants will gain concrete tools to design engagement strategically across individual class sessions and entire courses.
