About the Student Engagement SIG
Together, SIG participants aim to address the big questions around student engagement in learning. Our specific focus is on the relationship between student engagement and digital technologies.
The Student Engagement SIG is led by the interests of the group. Participants can choose to explore pedagogical frameworks that provide insight into online engagement. They may seek to understand how engagement is defined and evaluated by the tertiary sector, USQ governance, academics, and students. Participants also select and trial digital affordances that directly impact on student engagement. Most importantly, we share our experiences as we strive toward enhancing student engagement.
