This session will consider the purpose of measuring student engagement. We will identify which activities not only engage students but also produce quality analysis, which is critical to designing and adapting both online and face-to-face courses.

Some of the questions that we will show you how to answer are:

  • When are students logging into my course?
  • Which course resources/tools are being used most frequently?
  • Which discussions boards generate the most traffic?
  • What are the patterns of performance in an online assessment?
  • What are some of my opportunities for improvement?

Intended Audience: All Syracuse University Full time, Adjunct and Ph.D. Face-to-Face and Online Faculty.

Light refreshments and snacks will be served.
