Description
Across higher education in Denmark and internationally, there is a general desire to increase learning and student engagement with digital educational technology. Research shows that technology has the potential to support a wide range of student engagement aspects, including active learning, performance, motivation, and deep learning. However, the research also shows no direct link between technology and its effect on engagement. The effect depends on the characteristics of the technology and how it is used in teaching and learning.Based on a large-scale literature review of the current research, recommendations on how educational technology can support the students’ engagement are presented and supplemented with concrete examples from engineering education. Furthermore, the specific recommendations on how to engage students’ learning with learning management systems, discussion boards, quizzes, audience response systems, social media, and audiovisual media are shared as a deck of cards. Based on the cards, the participants are invited to reflect on their teaching practice and discuss challenges and solutions with peers.
