Student to student engagement

This can involve students who are collaborating on assignments - making sure each student stays on track in getting the work completed.

Student-to-student engagement is when students share ideas with each other. It is important because connections are made and understanding strengthened when you can understand another's way of thinking and connect it to your own thought process.

# data[].attributes.body
Student/faculty engagement means that the presence of the instructor is embedded in the day-to-day workings of the course.

# data[].attributes.body
Creation of a collaborative environment where students interact on an assignment towards a common learning goal. It is effective also if groups of students or pairs of students compete against each other, as it heightens their strive to do better and engages the sense of collaboration among peers.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content means that students are actively, rather than passively, learning. It means engaging students with tasks on the higher-end of Bloom's Taxonomy.

Students might engage with content individually, but they could also engage with content collaboratively and cooperatively in an online environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Content needs to be task-based, as students learn with hands-on activities. Content is engaging when students become the collaborators of the creation of a product during the learning process. Engaging content is alive and captures students ability to show how creative they can be with the new tools provided by the content they are learning.

Faculty creates his/her own "persona" in the online environment, monitors students' engagement and replies to each post or activity created by students. Faculty gives constant feedback to students' assignments and creates a sense of community by weekly announcements with the summary of students' achievements as a class. In a collaborative environment, students perceive the instructor as a facilitator and a guidance to content learning and reach out to him/her to share, ask and engage.

# data[].attributes.body
Student-to-student engagement is important for the building of community within the class and beyond.

Kelly's article on Fostering Collaboration suggested providing advance notice of collaboration and opening a discussion board one month ahead for the students to begin getting to know each other..

Using Keller's ARCS Model of Motivation, engaging with content could be gaining the attention of the learner through perceptual or inquiry arousal.

In the article, 3 Types of Interaction That Foster Student Engagement, I was reminded of the apps in Canvas. I would like to use video or voice feedback more, then I become more than the typed word.

# data[].attributes.body
Student engagement is when students become excited about learning, committed to the process, and connect to the material. I think of it as that "ah ha moment" when suddenly the student falls in love with learning and inspired to move forward, regardless of the obstacles that they face. When students connect with each other, and inspire that love of learning in their peers they embrace opportunities to collaborate, and build a network that will extend beyond their course experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content can look like many things.  It might be a collaborative project, or sharing ideas with peers in classroom. My favorite engagement is when students take the content out of the the text and class and apply it to real world experiences in their own lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content could mean many things. To me, it means material or delivery that draws the student in - requires a level of interaction with the material, and provides a pathway to applying new concepts to their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Students can engage via email, through frequent and timely feedback on assignments, with virtual office meetings using applications like Skype, via phone, etc. Communicating in meaningful ways, that is easy for them to predict and access. No, I do not think email is enough. I think its critical that the faculty not only reaches out and initiates contact, but also that the faculty encourages the student to do the same.

# data[].attributes.body
Student to student engagement is when students can form a community of learning through interaction with each other and the instructor. This allows the sharing of ideas and viewpoints as well as the ability to learn from each other and feel more commented to their classmates.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will engage with content that they feel is relevant and interesting. The job of the instructor is to make a topic and atmosphere interesting so that students will wand to engage with the material.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content is more than just reading something, it means that the student is able to work with the material in a fashion that excites them and allows them to explore the "what if" of a subject. Truly engaging with the material should entice a student to think beyond just the next assignment that is due.

# data[].attributes.body
I really feel that true faculty engagement is when you can interact with a student in a fashion that allows the student to know that you care and the instructor learn how to better assist the student to help them be successful.

My first posting is at the top of this page - I did not realize that I needed to put my name at the top..that was not apparent on my phone.  o finish up my posting:  Student  to student engagement can let  other students identify and understand how  you arrived at your ideas about a subject.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content means  to take the information that you are presented with and did research to get answers. So many of our students have so many questions about we present to them - they like to know more and understand even better!

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content means  to take the information that you are working with and did deeper - is there something in that content that is of interest to you - if so - what is it? If students get engaged in the content, it may mean that you have a student who decided to major in your discipline area and that is always exciting.

# data[].attributes.body
Faculty can be the starting point for students who are interested in a subject area.  How many students stay after class to ask questions? The reason they do this is so that they can satisfy a question they have during the discussion /lecture.  We need to encourage that.  Meeting students in the library, cafeteria is just another way to engage students.

# data[].attributes.body
Student to student engagement is when students work on an activity together. This could be as simple as a discussion post with a response to another student or a collaborative project. This is important because students may have different perspectives.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, I hope they already do that--but, unfortunately, that is not always the case. Using content to create, explore and problem solve makes it engaging for the student.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content means the student does not passively accept the information. Instead, they work with it--they use it to develop an understanding of important concepts or to problem solve or to develop their own projects...

# data[].attributes.body
E-mail is a start, but there are many ways faculty can engage with their students. Limiting engagement to e-mail can become stale. Adding to that will make the class more interesting, more personal for the students, and , yes, more engaging! First, they can create a welcome video. They could also send out a Weekly Message that connects to the activities the students are working on. Also, using the "comments" in the grading toolbox, directly connects to an individual student.

Student-to-student engagement is when students teach each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Sorry, my computer decided to restart for an update mid-posting. To continue from where I left off...

Student-to-student engagement is when students teach each other. This is important because different students learn differently, and can assimilate ideas in a non-uniform way. When students collaborate with their own ways of learning the material, the others can get a fresh perspective on the subject.

# data[].attributes.body
I find that students more actively engage with the material being taught when they can get their "hands dirty". For example, in physics classes students have perform experiment and compare the results against what they calculated. Students do this sort of thing to some extent, but there are many classes that do not have a "lab component" where this hands on approach is lost.

# data[].attributes.body
To engage with the content, to me, means when students are able to visualize the results of their work outside the classroom (even if the classroom is their bedroom). We cannot always see how an equation is applied in the real world, or even how a particular equation can be applied in a way that was not covered, and when students engage with the content, they start thinking about how to do exactly that.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, students can engage with faculty in many different ways. Email is a good start, however, it should not be the only form of engagement. Having reasonable office hours to me is one of the most important aspects of engagement with students. I teach mostly afternoon face-to-face classes, and my office hours are all scheduled around my classes. Students can always stop by before or after class. In an online setting, this might look a little different, and students might be available depending on their schedule. For those that work, after 5:00PM is probably a good time to stop by, and for others it might be in the morning.

# data[].attributes.body
Student to Student Engagement is when a student starts feeling a level of comfort (towards his/her peers) that is close to what can be felt in one of the social media (Mainly instagram, facebook, Snapchat...). The moment they feel that there is an urge to open a course page to find out what was posted by a colleague and find a pleasure in responding to a thread (not because it's required). Sharing of information and learning from each other becomes a norm. That of course can not be realized unless there is shared interest in the discussed topic, the appropriate (technological) tools that makes it easy for the collaboration and engagement to happen, and of course a good preparation from the instructor when it comes to the platform and content.

# data[].attributes.body
Students engage with content when it's diversified. A little bit of reading combined with a short video, animated tools and hand-on. (In addition to other learning tools that can make a content more interesting).
Social Media companies invest a lot of money and resources to increase (the clicks, and visits) to their sites/applications. We, instructors can learn from those experiences. We, for example, can develop applications that makes it easy for our students to visit/share a content but most importantly to find the the experience interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
LMS tools nowadays provide more than one way to engage students. E-mail is ok, but not enough. Visual chats, blogs, wikis are all tools that can enhance the engagement.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content is shifting the focus from instructor to student. From a (dependent) learning to an (independent) one. The student is actively learning, analyzing, constructively rebutting, and enthusiastically sharing.

# data[].attributes.body
Student-to-student engagement is what happens when the instructor yields control of a learning activity and puts it in the hands of the students. It can be a simple activity such as pairing up students and having them review course content together, or it can be an activity that requires the students to help each other understand difficult and challenging material.

# data[].attributes.body
This is such a broad question! Students can engage with content fully or partially. They can engage with content logically or emotionally. They can engage actively or passively. They can engage out of a desire to truly learn, or out of a desire just to get a grade. They can engage by trying to think critically about the content, or they can engage just enough to "get by." The challenge for the instructor is to inspire each student to WANT to engage fully, deeply, and critically. Do they already engage with content? I suppose they all do, but what the real question is, to what extent?

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content means attempting to comprehend it, think critically about it, and determine how to apply what was learned from it to a new situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Email is the most common method of engagement between faculty and students. But engagement can take place through other means. For one, faculty can encourage students to make comments about their assignments when they upload their work. When my face-to-face students come to class after having worked on an assignment that requires them to read challenging material such as Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," the first thing I do when I start class is ask, "So, how did you do with this assignment? Was it difficult? If so, why?" Online students can be encouraged to make these kinds of comments when they upload their assignments, and the instructor can respond to their comments when they grade the work.

# data[].attributes.body
Student to student engagement is a process that takes place when students create their own collaborative plan and implement it. It is very important way to involve students in the learning process

# data[].attributes.body
Students can engage with content when it is well structured and revives curiosity. Nowadays, there are many ways to deliver the same content such as power point, kaltura and H5P...etc

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content means that students are already involved in the learning process. So they are being active receivers instead of passive ones

# data[].attributes.body
I think discussions' feedback can reflect the level of engagement between an instructor and his students. Announcement, emails...etc are tool to confirm how strong the communication between a faculty and students.

# data[].attributes.body
Student-to-student engagement involves relevancy so that students acknowledge a connection between a class subject and some point outside of the classroom. For example, in an English course, a discussion thread may involve an assigned reading linked to a current event, such as the latest celebrity gossip, a Supreme Court nomination, etc. Therefore, the students are engaged to consider each student's connection between the assigned reading and current event, to respond to each one, and to continue the discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
When dealing with content, students often decide the level of engagement based on various factors. For instance, if they know that the content of a textbook chapter serves as the basis of half an upcoming exam, then they decide to use active reading to engage with the content at a high level. On the other hand, if there is an article that supplements material in another article, then students may determine that a low level of engagement is needed with the supplemental article.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content also involves consideration of course learning outcomes. Based on such consideration, both instructor and student can make various decisions about engaging with content. For example, the instructor can determine which technology is best suited to the achievement of a learning outcome, and the student can decide the most effective method by which to approach the content. Should the student work with a group to process the content of a chapter? What reading strategies (KWL, SQ3R, etc.) should the student utilize?

# data[].attributes.body
Student-to-student engagement is when the professor gets out of the way and allows students to work concepts out together. This is important because students come from different backgrounds and bring different perspectives to the course information.

# data[].attributes.body
Student and faculty engagement involves many means of communication.  That being said, students and faculty need to consider their options and use the most appropriate one for the situation at hand.  For instance, if a student wants an instructor to examine a rough draft, a face-to-face meeting may prove more useful than an email.  If a string of emails has not resolved an issue, then the student and instructor should acknowledge the need for another form of communication in this instance.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Karen that engagement come in many forms and at different levels. I think students can engage with content only if they choose to do so. I can make as many things available to them as I want but if they choose not to engage there is little that I can do. Some won't read no matter what the readings are. Some won't listen to a word I say or write. Others decide to get actively involved in their learning, and that is what is necessary.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content means thinking about the material and how it relates to what one already knows or has learned. Thinking about possible new applications of the new content in relation to what the course is trying to teach them.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing students can do is take the initiative in contacting the instructor. While I can open the contact, I don't always know when the student is confused about something. I think emailing the professor as soon as the problem arises is key. For example, one of my honors students went 4 weeks this semester without asking where to find the reading assignments because she didn't remember from the first day. I had no idea that she wasn't doing the reading until that moment (and this was a face-to-face class). Sometimes it looks like the student is doing fine unless s/he asks for help. I think email is a good tool because it allows the student to ask a question whenever s/he is studying, even while I'm asleep. Then I can answer the question when I go online the next morning, whereas is the student hasn't emailed the question s/he may forget what it was that needed clarification. While email may not be enough to make students feel a connection with the faculty, I think it can go a long way. I also think the comment tool on Canvas is a good way for a two-way conversation about an assignment to take place.

# data[].attributes.body
Student-to-student engagement is when students are able to exchange ideas with each other by some form of interaction that enhances learning of a specific content. Open ended questions that prompt discussions could be a good way to engage students. It also allows for a space where the students can express their opinions, use their creativity, and build relationships with their peers.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the things that could help students engage with content is when they are provided a way in which to make the content personal. This could be done in several ways for example, they could state their opinions or display their own creativity. I think making something personal makes it more authentic and thus the learner will be more engaged. I do not think all students already do that but we would certainly improve by motivating them to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content could also mean that students take ownership of their learning process and are fully immersed in it. They could feel personal responsibility for how they obtain the content and what they do with it after they obtain. It should lead to out of the box applications.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with faculty should be about having open communication that can lead to the establishment of a relationship. That way, the students feels as though the person is there and it is not just a screen with instructions. Email would not be enough in this case but can be used complement other forms of communication. I personally like to use voice messaging and video calls that make the person on the other real. In true student/faculty engagement the students should appear to have a positive relationship with the teacher that allows for a constructive conversation in aiding the student though the course.

# data[].attributes.body
One specific way that students can engage with the content is through activities that allow them to "make the course their own." For example, they can contribute websites and articles that relate to the topics at hand so that they are actually engaging more fully and at a deeper level than if they were to just read through articles that the instructor has presented.

# data[].attributes.body
Student engagement allows students the opportunity to share ideas, communicate, collaborate, innovate, question, and sometimes vent. Student engagement sparks curiosity and interest in content and is important for maintaining interest and keeping instructional and learning momentum. Student engagement occurs among student-to-student, instructor-to-student (and vice versa) and learning platform and student.

# data[].attributes.body
There are a variety of ways that students can engage with content. Students can engage by communicating virtually through text, talk, video chat, or emojis. Also, engagement can be passive (and that's not always a bad thing) in which students are expected to read, reflect, review or research. Some students already do all these things, but I believe they benefit from scaffolded support and an understanding of what is expected.

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging with content means that students are able to access the knowledge or materials to be learned or explored. Students should feel a sense of interest or inspiration to want to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
Email is useful and certainly convenient, but is not always personal. Engagement is one of the core principles of Universal Design for Learning and makes learning accessible to all learners. I believe student/faculty engagement should come in a variety of formats including printed words, video chats, videos to view, chat rooms, wikis, blogs. Overall, a variety of opportunities and formats for engagement need to be made available for students and faculty in order for communication and content to be accessible.

# data[].attributes.body
After looking at the array of possibilities--I really want to incorporate some games as a way of encouraging students to engage with each other AND with content.
